The next point on my roadmap is getting event-notifications in a merge-able state. This probably will take a full month. I had already delayed event-notifications for a month due to other work. Implementing GetIdentitiesByPartialNickname take a full week or even two. It would have to be done in a proper way to be persistent and use the database. How easy is it for you to work without this feature right now? Can you use a dummy-implementation until I finish event-notifications? Event-notifications would also be useful for you maybe to deliver pull-requests by solving a captcha of the person who shall receive the pull request. Toad, what do you think?
