If your business makes software, I might be good for your business.
If I had to bet:
They're the emotional responses of the relevant people.
Cost and risk are used primarily as proxy metrics.
We have to lean on these proxies because we've so thoroughly devalued emotional responses in business contexts.

Here’s #Medtner’s response to his publisher requesting something more accessible for amateur pianists (i.e., me): yes, and still 100% himself.

It's so perfectly wrong, it undermines the speaker nearly as much as the target.
The last thing we want to get merged before release is your Maildir-uniqueness patch. I'm assuming you're very tired of the git rebasing (etc.) required to get your PR merge-ready, so I'm I'm happy to handle it -- but I'd be happier knowing you're happy having me handle it.
What we've done when merging other patches, and what I'd do here, is define a branch made up of the following:
1. Apply your published patch precisely as is, with git author attributing it to you
2. Add commits (attributed to me) that change whatever we think needs changing to better fit into the notqmail codebase
Then I'd submit a PR for the usual review (which you'd be more than welcome to participate in if you want to, and more than welcome to skip if you don't).
If this sounds okay, can you say so on https://github.com/notqmail/notqmail/pull/90#issuecomment-1731495439 ? Or if it sounds not okay, please do say that.
