The point is, a few people in the project have proven themselves to be
noise generators with annoying whinging and nagging about tiny
insigificant issues.  That earns them a mail rule that simply discards
all incoming mail from them.  So, unsurprisingly: no reply.

There are 3 project memembers I've written such rules for, although two
of those rules are currently disabled (but I didn't delete them because
I have a feeling I'm going to use them again some day).
