Maybe it's explained by a part of the message you didn't include in this
excerpt, but I find that very confusing -- it doesn't say _why_ it's
necessary to `communicate with the maintainer,' or what to ask them.
Just, `communicate.'
I mean if someone's trying to send an assignment, surely there's a very
good chance they've already been in regular communication with the
maintainer (do people really send completely off the wall assignments?).
So if something extra is needed (an `authorization mail' from the
maintainer or whatever), it seems like the reply from <address@hidden>
should say what it is.
Yeah, this is just sort of random bitching, but many people find
assignments a pain in general, so I think it's good to make the process
as streamlined as possible.
