Re: [RP] ratpoison, patches, and the future

[Jeff Abrahamson]

Hi, Jérémie,

Last non-list email I received from you was 9 September about being busy with work. You remarked "You're already helping, and I think it makes sense for another person to have the keys of the git repo / web space on savannah." But then I'm afraid I didn't receive further non-list mail from you since. I pinged you on 21 September and again on 30 September, then dropped the matter to avoid appearance of harassment. I understood that you were swamped with work and not avoiding me, no worries there.

I think the next step on providing me with savannah access is providing me with savannah access. Unless you want to discuss it further first, in which case the next step is to discuss it. ;-)

Actually as I told you I got swamped in work on my side.  A few months
ago I sent you a mail telling you that I was available again to discuss
further changes and possibly adding you as a developer on Savannah.
I did not receive any response that I can find in my mailbox. :)

As I said, you getting commit access to the savannah git repo doesn't
mean that there won't be a form of discussion regarding what changes go
on the master branch. ;)
