Hi Emilian,

Well, as I'm not yet very familiar with the NetBeans development
intricacies, I thought you were "the" reviewer because when I received the
first automated email regarding my PR it contained comments from you saying
that some changes were requested! But if, like you said: you were just "a"
reviewer, then who's in charge of making the final decision as whether or
not a pull request will be accepted?

The only reason I said that it seemed nobody cared is simply because at
some point you stopped exchanging with me! My last question to you was
about the NetBeans module and how I could determine if it was OSGi or NBM
(like you were asking in your previous comment).

Again, I'm not very familiar with all this so maybe I overreacted and I
apologize! Next time, I'll send a message to the mailing list instead...

Thanks again for your message and comments, they were very constructive!

Christian
