<body><div>Indeed, given web sites are usually maintained by system administrators and that there's also a "sysadmin" KDE mailing list, I have no idea what are you doing here.</div><div><br></div><div>With that said, I'm not sure you will get any help at all after the amount of insults you've done. I see someone elsewhere in the discussion even started to troll you, I don't think that is a good reaction either.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, in terms of future advice: please apply Hanlon's Razor, it is most often correct, i.e. no one attempted to attribute malice to you. People make mistakes (like the one with the site), which Hanlon's razor describes as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, vast majority of KDE contributors aren't funded (and I'm sure no one by you specifically), so nobody has obligations to you.</div><div><br></div><div>Try to understand that and try to be calmer the next time you attempt to collaborate with any project, be it KDE or something else. If anything, insulting maintainers of a project you're interested in just impacts moral resources of its maintainers, hence impacts you specifically as a user of that project, as it may make maintainer procrastinate due to stress the project just brought thanks to you.</div><div><br></div><div>For example, there's one big project I'm not gonna name for translating API calls to analogous ones on other systems. It's hard to contribute to for an outsider, which I experienced twice, I currently have a patch addressing serious usability problem that no amount of pinging makes to either merge or at least to review. It's just ignored. That annoys me, but do I insult them? Of course no, it is an active project (mostly due to paid developers) which I'm using, so what good would insulting them do? Nothing.</div><div><br></div><div>On Mon, 2023-01-16 at 22:36 +0100, belaz@tuta.io wrote:</div><blockquote type="cite" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex; border-left:2px #729fcf solid;padding-left:1ex"><div>Who could I refer to in the developers' mailing list?
