I'm not being impatient. I just want to verify that silence means "somebody is working on this" versus "nobody noticed this was sent". Ditto for Steve Traylen's message of May 24 about the eGenix public license 1.1.0 (I'm the reviewer on that one).
Thanks,

We're working on this. This is (somewhat sadly, I have sometimes thought) a low-traffic list, so nothing posted here really escapes notice. :)

Heh. Okay, thanks. I see Tom just posted a reply. Thank you both. I didn't mean to apply any pressure. I just wasn't sure what was going on.

No worries. Richard and I just needed to discuss those licenses to make sure we were in agreement, and it never hurts to be prodded. We're both pretty busy. :)
