Re: *** RESPECTFULLY NOT SPAM *** Weekly Development Notes Followup

Thanks for your quick reply Bastian.  My email wasn't a prompt to be 
defensive but a request for clarification from Dalai as the Blender 
Development Coordinator.  Depending on what Dalai says, I'll follow up 
with your points if need be because this is not about me but how 
community developers are treated.

Dalai, as Blender Development Coordinator, one specific request from the 
Epic MegaGrant was to make Blender more professional.  I and other 
community devs and members do not think this kind of notation is 
professional.  It also disincentivizes engagement between core devs and 
community devs who do consider this a type of attack.

So again, my question to you as the Blender Development Coordinator is 
'In what case is it acceptable for a developer to put something like 
"Spent time on re-explaining/re-investigating T9599 (sigh…)." in their 
official weekly development notes?' And now, in what case is it 
acceptable to mark an email asking about such an issue as spam?  I was 
under the impression that personal attacks were not tolerated?
