My employer, er, switched to a certain mail host some number of years ago and I never really actually acclimated properly. As a result of that and, uh, my laziness, I've accumulated ... quite a backlog of mail I have not really read or dealt with. It's become unmanageable.
I'm trying to fix that. Unfortunately, it requires me to clear out the cobwebs and the easiest way to do that right now is a bulk "mark as read, archive" to get a fresh start and try new programs, filtering and organizational systems. My apologies for my absenteeism responding to maintenance requests. I am working on fixing it. I will be using a custom console script to monitor Patchew for the time-being (to highlight any series patchew believes I was copied on or am otherwise the maintainer for), but if there are any non-patch-related requests you have been hoping for an answer on, I humbly ask you re-send it and I thank you for your patience and understanding. With love (from the bottom of a mountain of mail), --J. Snow
