The mail said "there are lots of packages in maybe-failed state, we need help sorting through them." So I thought back to recent history, when packages I maintain were in maybe-failed state on arm, and had sorted through them, identified the problem, and sent email. The email was apparently entirely ignored, for weeks. So when I hear, "we need people to do task X!" and I did a piece of task X, and was simply ignored, I become hesitant to volunteer my time to do more of task X. Thomas
