Developers of Sympa

[IKEDA Soji <address@concealed>]

Sorry for delaying response.  In the last week it keeps 35°C at
Tokyo.  In short, Tokyo is hot.

Shortly, I agree to David's proposal.

A few comment/questions:

- My local work to refactor interaction between messages and
  spools will be finished in this month.  May I continue it?

- I wish, if possible, the codebase just before merging to Git
  would be released and announced broadly as "7.0a1" or so, to
  collect feedbacks from the user community.

- On git workplace, who would/should check, proof or approve pull
  requests sent by us (current developers) or others?
