ITP reminder emails
Hi All,
Last April, I sent batch emails to people who had opened ITPs. I'm
not a developer, and I did so independently from the group formally
known as "Debian". I wanted to clean up the wnpp area, preventing it
from getting too stale, and also wanted to test my own skill.
I got mostly positive responses and few negative ones. I later
followed up to the -qa list with a summary of my results.
I'm curious if there is an interest for me to rerun this script. I
sent about 500 emails, 1 per opened ITP which had not been updated in
over 4 months. A sample is at [0].
If there's an interest, I'll send out mails in a day or so. I would
probably rewrite my work in perl, instead of a handful of bashscripts.
I'll also Cc: the bugs, and add a Precedence: bulk header. And people
with multiple such ITPs will receive only one email which will list
all packages.
Please Cc: me, and Happy Holidays,
Justin
