And many such data points have already been discussed, on the -Stable mailing list, where all the developers who deal with -Stable hang out, read the mail, etc. This isn't a federal offense, and it _is_ a common mistake. I am merely attempting to point out that your (pl.) justifications are not valid. If you are interested in tracking this problem you should subscribe to -stable, which is a low-volume list most of the time. I'm afraid you won't get any sympathy from us as to how much mail you get per day.
