Probably not confirming reception of every single email, but I believe
it makes an enormous difference to the user asking for commit rights
if he gets a simple, totally generic email saying something like
"Thank you for contacting us and for volunteering to help us shape our
package manager into an even better product. Please be patient while
we are evaluating your recent contributions and don't hesitate to ping
us again in case you don't get an answer within two weeks." ... as
compared to not even knowing whether the email was sent to the correct
email address and not lost on the way due to spam filters.
