Why not.

Fine. What about some indication about this progress in the BTS?

Where is a reference to this script in the BTS?
And what about that dynamic raid autodetection, IIRC I have already
writen that you method (raidtools and static config) is bad. In the
meantime I dicussed the problem with another DD and the best idea was
patching mdadm to work directly with major/minor numbers.

May I suggest that you work together with others and do not ignore them
or just keep them guessing about your actions (if there any)? IMO it is
better to make small steps and come faster to _results_ than making big
plans and needing years to implement them, with unknown output.
