I have received maybe 10 messages (just a guess. Maybe more.) in the last couple of days. It doesn't seem (to me anyway) that this is enough to cause anyone heartburn but clearly Renaud is upset by this. I receive something in the range of 250-300 messages a day so I hardly see the increase but there have been a few more. Am I not receiving all the messages? Anyway, I wouldn't want app maintainers quiting over something like this, nor would I prefer to have newbies be without the help of maintainers also. Instead of changing the users list maybe there needs to be some sort of maintainers list for folks like Ranaud? I'm perfectly happy with whatever you do but if there are two lists let me know how to get signed up for whatever the new one is. Cheers, Mark
