Yeah, it was largely tongue-in-cheek. :)
Although a hint of "not upstream" would have been helpful. You obviously have the checklist in your head, and you (presumably) have a your formletter automated; it just seems that, as busy as the maintainers are, trading an extra 2s of your time for an hour of a contributor's time would sometimes be the right thing.
Regardless, you're the one doing the work, not me. (And you're an outright angel, compared to some other high-level maintainers, so I should simply count myself lucky.)
