I beg to differ. I didn't see this happen yet. In fact, I proceeded
deleting a bunch of those right after posting...

Well, I do see a difference in the verbosity of the mails, depending on
some kind of "group" or "category" of the poster... Don't let me
elaborate on this. But "please review" is kind of redundant and implied
anyway.

Even a trivial patch can fix an urgent issue.

There are a lot of lurkers in here, who read this list to track the
latest development and decide whether a fix should be incorporated to
packages/releases/whatever immediately. They (we) do care about all
components, and it is pretty hard to decide about this on 3 lines of
context...

Cause I still get a lot of meaningless posts -- despite the fact Michael
mentioned something similar more than once in the past. It's logical,
but that doesn't mean humans do act illogical.

FWIW, the subject was meant as some eye catching line only to at least
get some attention -- and not being deleted right away. :)
