Albert being rude in Okular merge requests

[Nate Graham]

Hello everyone,

It appears I sent this email intended for the Community Working Group to 
the public community email list instead. Autocomplete failed me and I 
failed to detect the error before hitting Send. My apologies in advance 
for the drama this is unfortunately likely to create. I would appreciate 
if everyone could pretend they never saw this email, or at least, avoid 
starting email threads discussing it. :)

Sorry everyone, and sorry especially to Albert, who definitely does not 
deserve for dirty laundry to be aired in public like this. It was my 
mistake and I take full responsibility. I'll buy to a beer at the next 
Akademy. Or a cake, your choice. :)

Nate
