Let's go back a bit:

If the implication is that users should grep the source code before asking
questions, that's not a reasonable expectation.

I think that expecting the author of an email to the mailing list for
developers of a program to have at least taken a cursory glance at the
source of said program is entirely reasonable.

As I implied, this would be reasonable if the developers in question were responsive to questions on the user's list.

Especially if the
question regards how something in done in the source.

It doesn't.
