This thread started because I refused to accept a merge request to add a new feature, hCAPTCHA, to the subscribe form. The reason I gave was "no new features", although I have other reservations about CAPTCHAs in general. I think I have made my position clear and I think it includes my doing all the things Chip wants, although I'm 78 years old, and it's not unlikely that I will die before Mailman 2.1 finally does. What I am opposed to is third parties making changes to the code base and expecting me to continue to make releases, so I ask that any potential group of Mailman 2.1 developers either fork the project in which case, they can do whatever they want with their fork, or if they want to commit changes to the Mailman 2.1 branch on Launchpad that they be willing to take over the entire job. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
