(...) Sorry, but by CCing 191 random addresses like this, that's the best way to be added to .procmailrc and be completely ignored by everyone. At some point one should wonder whether that's a common practice or if such behaviors will be considered offensive by the majority. get_maintainer.pl only lists the 2 lists and 3 addresses I left in CC (after Kent and Andy whom I left since they replied to you). > This patch, for example, has been submitted multiple times without receiving > any response, unfortunately. It can happen, but sending to the right people and possibly resending if it gets lost is usually sufficient to attract attention. Sending to that many people make you look like someone feeling so important they need to shout in a loudspeaker to send orders to everyone. Please refrain from doing this in the future.
