someone who made hundreads of contributions can expect some
occasional feedback until he indicates that he wants to hear no more
after which of course he should not receive any further communication.

that said, i checked ML subscribers and found
16 of the people above to be currently subscribed with email addresses
that i found by greping their name. (not posting the list due to privacy
concerns)

Yes, i guess so
If people want that. I volunteer and will contact them all and ask.
It was my suggestion to add these people so iam ready to do the work.
But we should give them a week at least to reply.
Should i ask all or limit to the ones who are not subscribed to the ML
with a identifyable address ?

thx
