I think if Mario gives you Sune's email address you should write to Sune yourself,
saying "excuse me for writing to you privately" and mentioning Mario's name when you
introduce yourself.  Sune is quite approachable IIRC.  And core developers are mostly
happy to talk if you have a significant problem and have done your Googling, etc. first.

We cannot expect Mario to be a go-between for every technical query that comes up
in the next few months.

Errrmmmm … I think he works for Homebrew … but I'd love to see a meeting of
minds between MacPorts, Homebrew and KDE … :-)  BTW, Marko, did you ever
make contact with adymo (ex-KDevelop developer, also working on Homebrew)?
