In conclusion, Niall, I thank you for educating me on the etiquette
on Open Source public mailing lists. I trust you've also learned not to pull the trigger too quickly.
I'm sorry your reception to the list was cold. Niall does not moderate the list and in fact you followed the correct procedures for Boost. Decisions about Boost as well as features/improvements to libraries are discussed on this mail list http://www.boost.org/community/requests.html. That is the policy.
Right. To be clear, this list *is* an appropriate channel for raising issues, suggesting fixes, etc., for Boost libraries. Boost.Asio, like Boost.Spirit, is unusual in that it has a separate mailing list and support mechanism. That doesn't mean posts here are out of place, just that you'll often be redirected elsewhere for those libraries.
There is not some separate side channel or handshake that is required first. Unfortunately, Chris doesn't participate on the dev mail list but he is very responsive, as you have found out, if you contact him through other means.
Thanks to Edward and Michael for jumping in.
I look forward to your involvement in Boost!
