No, that is not what I meant.

My statement was about the procedure, not about redefining which teams
qualify as teams. Where a team has a working agreement and responds
reliably, I would welcome using that as the default handling.

In fact, I have had good experiences writing to team addresses and
receiving a response from a person. That suggests that pinging teams can
work well in practice.

Kind regards
