That was thoughtful :) I write my last name last and go by "Jing".

To prove a point that closing the registration can save everyone's time. The number comes from here [1].[1] https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/administration/savane.git/tree/frontend/site-specific/gnu/register/index.php?h=frontend#n128

Let's disagree :)
If a submitter fails repeatedly or for a long period to acquire anunderstanding of some factor that is essential to a project's acceptancein Savannah, then their submission cannot succeed. Could you draft a template for a rejection/cancellation message thatwould be sufficiently polite, in your view? Maybe future communications can be based on that, with tuning to particular circumstances of course.
I could, but I don't think it'd be helpful to use a new template: the comments with problematic tone didn't use the existing templates, which are at least adequate IMO. I don't know what would be a good template to substitute "I don't have time", "you have much to learn", "It looks like we don't listen to each other".
