This is exactly what I meant when said "consider".

I don't think "master" causes any kind of offence, but this is just a
question of appreciation.

Of course, If we consider this topic is enough important to take into
account, we should open a new thread involving d-d-l and maybe other teams
(Releaste team, Infrastructure...). But is this thread we are just
discussing if Geary's maintainer should revert the change, at least until a
final decission has been taken.

I've exposed some arguments to revert it, the main one is that Damned Lies
is currently broken due to this name change. You can see it in the
screenshot.
In the other hand, opening the door to change the name of the master branch
in every module will result in a very big mess, broken scripts, etc.
