You are saying that average developer is very bad at estimating which behavior should be the default, yet you ("average developer") is vetoing features that users (myself and others) report to be very useful. I don't have much time to spend on this issue, but I really think you should release mergemaster from strong maintainership lock and let community lead it future development, especially considering that you have confessed to not having much time to devote to it these days. -Maxim
