Template mails are template mails. They're meant mostly to be used as a standard way to......establish the contact you're calling for... So, no, I don't adapt them to each and every situation or each and every maintainer, depending on the (mis)communication history I may have with this or that person. After we had this discussion, I indeed modified my template mails to make them more appropriate to cases like gitolite's where the maintainer might be annoyed by someone jumping on his|her toes immediately after the package release. From your answer, I concluded that you were planning in some way to polish things and then send a notice that the review process could start. I also concluded that you were annoyed by the apparent fingerpointing seen in template mails wrt calls for translations and I seem to remember that you mentioned being able to deal with calls for translations and, being someone with involvment in localization, you could handle things by yourself. Which all is fine by me, which I translate by "the maintainer didn't show great interest for the review". You can feel free to be offended if you're missing "at that time" in that sentence and I would be OK to apologize for the missing words. > Also, I told you after my last upload of 1.5.3-1 that I now consider > the strings to be in a decent frozen state that I feel comfortable to > release with and that you should feel free to start the swift process > now. Granted, this was a day after this mail but it doesn't change that > you twisted my words with your above claim. I apparently missed that notice. Could that explain something? Me "twisting your words" is probably yet another proof that we have communication problems.

I communicate with the dozens of maintainers I worked with when it comes at these reviews. With such a high number, the probability of miscommunication is increased and there are failure cases when the conditions for miscommunication are met. We are apparently in such case. This mail is my last mail in this thread.
