Sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but Julia is spot on. The only
effect your emails had on me was a big "WTF!?". Had Julia not responded
to my messages at almost the same time, I would have left this list and
Coccinelle for good.

What's the point of all these random questions that you bring up in
response to every sentence? Do you think they are helpful?
> I find that this mailing list gets only low message traffic so far.
Do you think others share this impression? Do you think this is a good
thing or a bad thing? How do you think will this situation evolve?

What do you mean with discussion contributions? Do you think that asking
if the topic is reasonable is equivalent to asking if the specific
contributions are reasonable?

Whom do you mean with "we"? Is it important in this context?

Do you think you will be able to find out the answer to this question?
How could we best assist you in that?
Best,
