Yes, that is indeed true, and thats kind of what we've been trained to
do. The only thing I check is whether Christian collects them or if
they should be submitted by e-mail.

Yes, and especially in the end things are automated.
Well, and please don't get me wrong, I really do appreciate your very
fast response! Most maintainers take much more time, and I rather be
irritated a little by temporary inconsistencies than frustrated by
prolonged (many month, possibly over a year) no-reaction of
maintainers.
