Re: Unblock request for mantis

[Patrick Schoenfeld <schoenfeld@in-medias-res.com>]

Hi there,

it has now been seven days, since i wrote the email about a possible
unblocking of mantis / hinting it into testing and i got no reply.
So i wanted to give it a little bit attention.
I repeatedly ask for someone who can do so to unblock mantis and hint it
into testing. If that is not wanted I would like to kindly ask for a
reason why.

Thanks in advance and Best Regards,

Patrick
