Koen brought up this in the thread on the review process. As it
(mostly) is about this thread I felt it was more appropriate here.

I don't know what others think about it, but I see only a few matches.

That of course does not mean that Koen is not entitiled to an opinion.
Of course not, this is a rerview request and everyone may react to it.
However, I, and I think most of us would appreciate it if this is done
in a professional, polite and friendly manner.

(btw wrt the other two post about the 3 conf/distro/include files I
proposed to delete: two are gpe, and one is maemo. you may consider
yourself to be the maintainer of the gpe recipes. I've clearly
indicated why I wanted to remove them and you did not address any of
my concerns and observations; also as I wrote before maintainership
also comes with obligations. These files are clearly broken so it
seems the maintainer has some work there.)

Frans

PS: I think this is also an excellent case why it is a good idea to
identify the maintainer within the recipe/
