Re: [MENTORS] June report timeline - reports due June 2026

HI,

> Your health report for Pony Mail is hallucinating releases.[2]

Thanks, Dave, for noticing that:

The health MCP does not read the dist/archive directories. It scans [email protected] for [VOTE] / [RESULT] threads and attributes them to a podling by matching the podling name in subjects/bodies.

For Pony Mail, this breaks for two reasons:
    • The podling's name is two common English words. Loose substring matching on "Pony Mail" (or just "ponymail") hits things that have nothing to do with a Pony Mail release.
    • The Pony Mail software is the ASF mail archive. Every release vote/result thread on general@ contains links like https://lists.apache.org/... and references to ponymail.apache.org. Where this went wrong is that the heuristic catches the name of the product, not the subject of the vote.

Kind Regards,
Justin
