Hi, It was pointed out to me by our Debian leader no less that I might have hurt someone else's feelings or did use some unnecessary words which might stop people from contributing to Debian. Yesterday I wrote in response to Ingo's email: "I recommend to file bug reports against affected packages because they won't get lost and are always visible. It is probably to[sic] early for a mass bug filing but if you already know solutions for specific Java 9 issues, don't hesitate to report them, e.g. with reportbug [1] or directly via your favorite e-mail client (apparently Outlook, urgh)." Note that I used the colloquial word "urgh" to express a feeling of disgust. @Ingo First of all if you felt offended by these words, then I would like to say that I am sorry. They were not meant to be serious but more with a wink. I hope that some guy on a mailing list will not ever block you from contributing to a far greater project. @the two folks who contacted our Leader May I suggest that you publicly voice your concerns on this list instead of contacting our leader who then sends private emails to me? I believe this would be more helpful and transparent. Thank you Markus
