Hello Andreas, Sadly a release is a poor moment to discuss the perimeter.
Running a release process 'just' to come to the vote took me over 12 hours, I am personally upset wasting my time running multiple releases for nothing. By the way, except for 3.5.0 releasing is a burdon that I did carry mostly by my own for several years already, for free to the community. I would be glad we better share this responsibility. My mindset (we can discuss this) is that the project should always be on a releasable state. Additions according to the will of contributors should not compete with the release milestone. That is, users and contributors can open tickets and code contribution when they encounter the need, independently from releases. When we release, what is ready is included, what is not ready / not done will go for next release. In this case, the contributors would have had likely carried the task out if we had a JIRA ticket saying "Upgrade the MIME4J code a new version to include unreleased changes". The ticket do not exist thus it was not carried out. I encourage you to create such a ticket. It would then be included in 3.7.1 / 3.8.0. Finally I sent an email one week ago, seeking consensus toward such a release. Raising your voice during consensus seeking phases rather than on votes would surely help mitigate such conflicts.
