Hello Ingo, Thank you for explaining your position and providing the historical context.
I acknowledge the problems with my 2024 submission and the services you checked, and I apologise for not following up promptly after you took the time to investigate them. I understand why that experience raised concerns. Since then, I have continued developing and testing my OpenBSD-based application infrastructure. My request was intended to present my current work for consideration. I recognise that confidence in my ability to provide support needs to rest on demonstrable technical work and reliable operation. I respect your decision not to act on the request, and I appreciate your making clear that another developer may consider it independently. If anyone chooses to review it, I am willing to answer specific technical questions and provide relevant evidence of the work. Thank you for your time. Kind regards, Kihaguru Njenga Gathura Corenil Limited On Fri, 16 Oct 2026, 13:18 Ingo Schwarze, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > i'm not planning to take any action on this request. > If another developer wants to add the entry, i have no problem > with that, but personally, i do not feel comfortable with > adding this entry.
