I have built up quite a backlog of email, so I did not see that the
discussion had effectively concluded when I wrote my message.

I still think an email to the author would be a good thing in that case.
I have had parts of my site stop functioning and known of it for some

warrant changing something for which consensus has already been
established.

I think we have enough flamewars ongoing at the moment that I am not
going to take the bait to start a philosophical/religious discussion on
the merits of short/concise commit messages :-)
