Re: [mantisbt-dev] Hi All - A change of direction for me.

Despite our arguments, I valued your contributions to Mantis and 
sincerely regret your decision to leave the team.

I wish you luck in your endeavor, but strongly suggest you pick a 
different name and logo, to make sure you do not create any confusion in 
the minds of users.

I also hope that your fork will remain close enough to Mantis that we 
can benefit from each other, à la MySQL/MariaDB.

It also would be nice before you go, if you could release back to the 
public all of the code you're currently holding in the mantisforge 
archive, which you've been promising to do for nearly a year now (if not 
more).

I wish you hadn't done that - especially considering the recent "PR 
spam" you generated, it will be more difficult and time-consuming to 
retrieve them for an eventual merge.

Will do. Until then, do try and send the patches to me (with additional 
relevant info as needed) - I assure you my email works just fine.
