Out of the blue, I have received nitpicking of changes I made to the

Can anyone tell me what's going on here? Who even wrote this?

Note the response was from moderators of announce.a.o not our own
announce@s.a.o. They likely haven't seen this ensuing discussion on our
dev@.
So, that anonymous moderator's complaint is doubly silly given that
there are currently 4 releases on dist/release and you can only have one
file named "KEYS" there. I'm pretty sure downstream users who use the
source release are intelligent enough to interpret "KEYS" as "*.KEYS" if
necessary.
There is some history: the KEYS file issue was discussed between us and
them somewhere (dev@community.a.o ?) a year or two ago but no consensus
was reached. There is some ASF-wide policy they are trying to enforce.
Clearly this isn't a good way to go about it.
When I received similar rejections on some previous releases, I sighed
and ignored them, thinking that reaching announce@a.o isn't that
important and in each case it was the last thing at the end of a tiring
day so I lacked the motivation to pursue it.
