Re: Request for email removal

Thanks, Erik.  Looks like the ASDF fork contributes [this Merge 
Request](https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/asdf/asdf/-/merge_requests/83).

I will try to get that merged or closed in the next couple of days, and 
then you can close the GitLab account.

I got a flurry of emails for ASDF issues that might have been triggered 
by the transition.  Seemed like maybe one email per open issue.  This is 
possibly related to the request I got.

I checked the members and non-members lists for ASDF-devel and 
ASDF-announce and verified that Elias's email was not there.

More soon

Best,
R
