I've just sent a mail to the contact address:

Hi,

I wish that the Latin Modern fonts have a lower tilde, like in
Bitstream Vera, Courier and Luxi Mono fonts. IMHO, a lower tilde
looks nicer and is more common (e.g. in the default fonts used on
the web). A lower tilde is also the example chosen in the Unicode
charts <http://www.unicode.org/fr/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf>.

FYI, I'm sending this wish after a discussion on
