This software is just commercial and proprietary offerings about which
you have no way to discuss. Migen is an open source project. This makes
a lot of difference to me.
Other open-source projects I am familiar with don't post releases
announcements to the other groups. Or offer "their" tools as solutions
to technical questions / discussions.
The python-scientific dev group doesn't post to octave dev. The scilab
dev doesn't post to the scientific-python, etc. Even though, these
groups have similar initiatives; they want to proliferate the
open-source scientific/numerical computing options. They don't self
promote on each others "communication channels".
So yes, it is spam it has nothing to do with MyHDL. It is different if
projects that MyHDL interfaces/uses (Icarus, Python, pypy, etc) or
projects that build off MyHDL post releases. This is not the case, you
are simply exploiting this group for your own self interest.
...which is, in this case, discussing and building the best open source
Python-based hardware description language and tools. I won't go after
you if you "spam" our communication channels about the latest MyHDL
features; in fact, if this brings about fruitful technical discussion,
it would be welcome. I'd also be welcoming a Migen/MyHDL merger (no need
to duplicate efforts) - but you rejected even the most simple patches
from me - not my problem.

If the simplest of patches don't work they should be rejected. You keep
stating that it was simple but overlook the fact that you couldn't get
it correct.
I don't believe you are sincerely interested in "fruitful" technical
discussions. The past discussions you have shied away from and/or
resorted to name calling or some other off hand remark to avoid the
objective technical discussions.
