Thanks. That wasn't clear from the original. Good to make it explicit |

Well, that, and the simple assumption that every dev had no objection to a |
| 14 |
gmail account. If the point had been made then (as made now) that read- |
| 15 |
only is available without, and that those without (thereby recognizing the |
| 16 |
possibility) could ask another dev... But that was taken care of with my |
| 17 |
original post and other followups, so it's pretty much resolved. |
