1. Proton mail security requires gmail to discard/spam any message forwarded by 
this list just like yahoo. I have an exception list in gmail so I can see this .


2. If you have made the only fix lately, yes, add yourself just as a good 
maintainer would if accepting big set of patches. Are you signing up to provide 
on going support , adopting or forking the orphan? Or just posting a patched 
version on github? Probably should be explicit on your intentions. Rallying a 
community may be useful ...



Hi Bill,

#1 Makes sense. Maybe the list should be configured differently?

#2 Just curious on best practice.

Thanks,
Eric

[Discuss] copyright contributor question

2016-09-21 Thread Eric Chadbourne
When is it appropriate to add my name to some abandoned code that I have 
significantly changed? Copyrighted by a person and under the GPL. Add a section 
for contributors?

Thanks,


Eric
