I did read it, but I still don't think saying I'm going to work on a
patch that's been stalled for weeks - or really months - constitutes
any sort of declaration of war, peace, or anything else. I have just
as much of a right to work on a given feature as you or anyone else
does. Typically, when I work on patches and help get them committed,
the response is "thanks". I'm not so sure what's different in this
case.
