No.

Imagine you were adding a new function to git-svn.perl and wanted to know why your addition that looked somewhat similar to what Josef sent did not work as you expected.

We should be able to answer such a question, don't you think? People often seem to badmouth this list as git develper's list that is unfriendly to end users.
