Correct.

Current maintainer is not the most important concept to me. But I will 
discuss that later.

Cool. But does this means you are not going to let me commit to 
make_it_cool or other KDE packages while this KMail HEAD case is in 
process?

I have other more important things I want to work on besides this 
issue of maintainership.

Ok, I'll work on that mail tonight and send it by tomorrow. But I 
would like both mails to be sent to you in private and once you have 
received both of them then you should post them to the list.

Ok, a jury by my peers that's what I wanted.

I have attempted to do this in private mail with no success. I guess I 
should attach those mails. There are a number of private mails sent 
between Michael and myself does Michael (or Marc of khz) object to me 
including those mails?

Don.
