Thanks for explaining, and apologies, since I've been one of those others too. But sometimes I got back »Thanks for the reminder, forgt/lost a/b/c...« So I hope those adressees for whom point 2) was the case will just ignore it and don't feel disordered. Since people asking about a MFC status are aware of the committ, the reminder is meant to support committers and the release quality, otherwise we could silently adopt ourselfs... I'm completely unsure if these reminders are welcome or not. Of course, it's committer-dependent to some degree, but what's the "official" position: Being quiet or asking if chances are good that it got lost? Shall we strip svn-src-all@ ? Thanks, -harry
