what you've missed is the teensy-tiny little detail that in order for amarok devs to have permissions to manage merge requests, they also had to receive email. the recently-added permission bit controlled both of these together. although now johan's just done away with the email.... so... huh. no email for anyone even if they want it. -- This message brought to you by eevil bananas and the number 3. www.chani3.com
