Hi Tim,
Given this list, and the previous statement:

You had the list of people whose responses mattered to you. If you were
only soliciting feedback from these people, why did you email the whole
list instead of these people directly?

I realise I am a lurker, but clearly I cherish the openssl community,
and read this list to continue learning about the project, even if I am
not quite interest in the firehose that might be github issues.

Eldon
