I didn't "feel" that any of the posts in this thread had an angry tone, not any more than mine at the beginning of the other thread. Peter's remark, as yours, as mine, makes 3 people asking a simple question about an as yet unknown source of emails (that could therefore be qualified as "unsolicited"). Perhaps the three of us needed that _prior_ discussion on "dev@" (i.e. present the proposal) rather than an after the fact terse statement akin to "go figure yourself". Perhaps we needed just that extra little time of a "human" conversation to be convinced and not even blink at the subsequent automated emails. So a list of "bot" statements (in MD format) is now a good enough substitute for that "conversation" (?). That's the kind of "progress" which GitHub brings (along with truly good things, I don't doubt, but which are not what is being pointed at). > Peter just said he hasn't been reading mails for a few days, is > overwhelmed now and will need time to review what has happened.
