I hope you don't think that I read all mails on the list :-)

Let's have a look at how that looks for me right now. I have 18 unread mails 
distributed to 7 threads:
* Remove completely duplicated functionality
* Release Announcment
* something with xkb
* something with systray
* something with HighDPI mentions Wayland!!!!
* some crash
* some calendar stuff

Now I apply my fast reading skill. Xkb: I should look into. HighDPI I would 
have skipped, but it mentions Wayland. Calender sounds like QML, won't look 
into (mark thread as read).  The crash: maybe. Doesn't have replies yet, so I 
might have a look. If it had replies I would not look at it. And so on.

Maybe I read half of the mails. So yeah, I at least do not expect that the VDG 
does read all mails and if I want your input I would add you to CC in a 
thread.

Cheers
Martin
