Again, I apologise to that.

I look forward to working with you many times in the future.

Yes, it wasn't a destructive action, and no harm came of it.

Please be sure that I wasn't trying to find mistakes in your actions.
Everybody makes mistakes, and I certainly don't expect MOTUs to be
flawless. (For some packaging mistakes from me in the last week please
see capisuite, debbugs, dx, and debian-edu. All of which hit the archive
without any review that may catch the issues. They're only the problems
that I spotted as well.)

Thanks,

James
