Nope. I pick up somewhere between ten and fifty items a day, on average.
I also tend to ignore the very occasional automated responses from
people running TMDA or something similar that demands my involvement
with their software to talk to them.
It's not polite, and unless I have an urgent need to talk to them, I
just can't be bothered jumping through their hoops.
Don't assume that what you consider reasonable is going to be considered
reasonable by others.
Adding this in a non-optional way would fork the codebase, I assure you,
because there are enough people who feel /really/ strongly against it. :)
