In truth, my ping was only meant to other automake developers; sorry if
I sounded like I was demanding you to review the patch.

[6]Introduction to Automake
Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in' files
compliant with the GNU Coding Standards. Automake requires the use of
[7]Autoconf.
[8]Downloading Automake
Please note that Automake 1.11.1 and Automake 1.10.3 fix a security
issue present in the make dist and make distcheck rules of all packages
using Automake. See [9]here for details.
GNU Automake can be found on [10]http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/ [via
http] and [11]ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/ [via FTP]. It can also be
found on one of [12]our FTP mirrors. You can also order a [13]CD-ROM
from the FSF or use [14]other methods to obtain a copy.
Alpha/beta releases of Automake can be found in
[15]ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake/, and the latest
in-development sources for Automake can always be fetched through git
from [16]Savannah. DO NOT use Automake sources from these locations for
production use.
[17]Documentation
The Automake manual can be read [18]on-line or downloaded in [19]PDF
format; also, [20]more formats are offered for download or on-line
reading. If you have installed Automake on your system, you may also
find more information about it by looking at your local documentation;
for example you might use info automake at the shell prompt.
[21]Mailing Lists
Automake has several public mailing lists, each of which is archive.
For general Automake discussions, use [22]autom...@gnu.org
([23]archives and [24]subscription).
If you have a patch for Automake, please send the it to
[25]automake-patches@gnu.org ([26]archives and [27]subscription). The
HACKING file present in the Automake git repository should explain how
to properly prepare, format and post a patch.
Bug reports can be emailed to [28]bug-autom...@gnu.org ([29]archives
and [30]subscription). Before submitting a bug report, please read the
[31]Bug Reporting section of the manual.
You can subscribe to any Automake mailing list via the associated web
interfaces, linked above. Or you can send an empty mail with a Subject:
header line of just "subscribe" to the relevant -request list. For
example, to subscribe yourself to the bug-automake list, you would send
mail to [32]bug-automake-requ...@gnu.org with no body and a Subject:
header line of just "subscribe".
It has been necessary to moderate the GNU Automake mailing lists to
prevent the flood of spam. Postings to the lists are held for release
by the list moderator. Sometimes the moderators are unavailable for
brief periods of time. Please be patient when posting. If you don't see
the message in the list archive an hour or so after having sent it,
then it did not get posted.
[33]Bug Reports
For bugs in Automake, please see the [34]Bug Reporting section of the
manual.
Please send FSF & GNU inquiries to [35]g...@gnu.org. There are also
[36]other ways to contact the FSF.
