Is it just me or there is no sign of such claim on the consultants@
mailboxes?  I am not saying that it is not true, but that there is no
track where it should be.

If someone I need to contact requires a web form (and not an email
address), I am usually reluctant to continue dealing with him, at least
for three reasons: first, because such forms do not automatically send
the request to the submitter; second, because I can not OpenPGP sign
what I write and, third, because I need to use a browser and not my
preferred MUA.

I know I am not a lambda user, but on Debian we have an established
communication channel (email), which is way better than any other
(e.g. webforms).

Thx, bye,
