- metadat 4y agoIf you really care and / or want to make a positive difference, email the staff at hn@ycombinator.com. There is too much activity for mods to patrol it all, and posts of this nature don't meet the HN standard for curious conversation. The staff are responsive and eager to help, all it takes is reaching out via the recommended channel (email).

In the linked Mastodon thread, Josh mentions that he's had a new addition to his family, making things a bit slower, and it's already pretty common for releases to slow down during the holiday months (for instance VS Code doesn't have a December release by policy).
