So far the response has been nil.
I don't recall seeing that email. I did see an email thread regarding
Autoconf which immediately became a lot of "need to support this soon"
and "wouldn't it be nice" discussion, totally missing the point of the
text they were reponding to (i.e. "project is on the gurney and may
expire without help").
Regardless, "baby bird" syndrome seems to be striking a great many
established free software projects which are mature and heavily used.
Projects operated by billion dollar companies with teams of developers
paid to sit in a cubicles and write free sofware seem to be doing
fine.
Unfortunately, this is not the model for most GNU projects.
