Yes, it was intended initially, mostly because I wanted to stress that this is *my* finding and may not reflect the whole project's stance. But while that would've been fine in a commit message, I think you're right and it's less sensible in a committed document. After all, the review process should ensure that the project also agrees with my finding, and at that point it does make sense to say "we". > (PS hopefully my mail client will get this to the right place) Seems like it did make it to the right place. There is one weirdness though: your mail client sets the "Reply-To" header to the message ID of the cover letter somehow, so when replying I don't send it to you but I instead send it to [1].
