thanks, I like that the date and package name is printed now. I slightly dislike
not naming the requestor, but won't change it myself for now.

agreed.

well, reserving an DLA and not sending it is also a valid reason.
and I still disagree with being called out here is a bad thing, because it's
worse to claim a package and not do the work. So being called out^w^wreminded
of this is still a good thing in my book.
we work in public here and this means our good and bad work is public.
if one cannot work like this, one should learn to cope or switch.
that said, I'll edit the results to not include missing DLAs on webwml if the
DLA was requested on day I'll be sending the mail.
