Thanks!

I don't think anyone has suggested or implied forcing anyone to do 
anything (please help point out if I missed some detail on that!).

On the matter of treating newcomers as real people: Approved or not, 
anyone are free to join this mailinglist ans speak up (e.g. to answer my 
early question question whether intent is releasing package or maintain, 
which it is still hanging unanswered!).

Anyone else having opinions on the matter?
