If you mean me, say so directly. I'm not a native speaker, so I may have
accidentally said something which sounds derogatory.

luit on fd.o did not have any developments for a 4 years beside
cleanups. You have forked it approximately at the same time and
developed it separately instead of applying for fd.o account and
developing it as a part of fd.o. Are there any technical reasons for
this?
