Hey...before somebody yells ONTAGA! I'd like to know if answering
questions related to someone else's mantained packages is seen as
unpolite or something...

Now yell.
:P

Isn't a casual perusal of the email archives enough to answer your
question?

ONTAGA!

ONTAGA! ONTAGA!

I've got no idea what that means, but I like the shouting. :)

Of course answers regarding other people's questions are welcome, even
more so if it means the maintainer doesn't have to get involved. In
fact, it's a very useful way to contribute to open source projects.

Indeed, sir. No noise intended, though.

Just an anathema:
OhNoThatAnnoyingGuyAgain!

...and a failed attempt to enter the OLOCA (I had a _real_ good time
reading that :-))

I still think it's a strange question.  If you follow it to its logical
conclusion there would only be newbies asking questions and package
maintainers answering them.  So an email thread would be:

From:  Ed.C@lueless.org
Subject: minTTY porblem

From: Andy Koppe
Subject: Re: mintty porblem

From: Ed.C@lueless.org
Subject: Re: minTTY porblem

From: Andy Koppe
Subject: Re: minTTY porblem

From Ed.C@luless.org
Subject: Re: minTTY porbem (SOVLED!)

i.e., you'd only ever see two people in every email thread.  Clearly
that isn't the case.

But, nevertheless:  ONTAGA!  ONTAGA I say!
