A good analogy is saying "Hello" when you meet somebody on the street. You live in a village and it's unthinkable not do it. Then you move to a small town and everybody still does, except when it's the market day. And then you move to a city and you stop, because you wouldn't be able to do it fast enough even if you wanted. My point is that when circumstances change, what is "courteous" also changes. For you the short message from the pp doing the cleanup is something you expect, but for him or her it's hours of overhead because human communication¹ is much harder to automatize then the actual changes, and for the other 350 maintainers also receiving the "courteous" message it's unwanted communication that prevents them from doing their work. Zbyszek ¹ Sending a template e-mail or bugzilla is not a big issue, but monitoring the tickets, and reading the replies, and closing the bugs over the course of months or years _is_. PS.
