If that would have been a pleasure, I'm wondering why your team did not do
that.

I've sent just a couple of mails to leader in the past term, less than a
handfull. Of those, I have received exactly zero replies from the DPL, you
or the rest of the team.

Here are some suggestions for possible answers:
- Thanks for your mail, we're already doing this-and-that to address the
problem;
- Thanks for the input, but I disagree for this reason;
- Good to hear from you, but unfortunately this is currently not a priority;
- I'll consider that the next time such an issue comes along.

I find it very strange that the DPL(team) explicitly calls for all input,
then ignores that input, and then complains on -vote that they did not get
enough opportunity to tell what they were doing.


bye,
Thijs
