Maybe.

The new version of the port was posted for testing here a since
a few weeks back. I believe it received 2 or 3 feedback emails (one of
which mine).

The PR stayed in the queue more that a week. I received exactly one
feedback email (from a fellow commiter fixing mostly a few style things).

Maybe the maintainer got more feedback on private.

I will check the OPTIONS handling and commit the needed fixes, thanks
for reporting.


This being said, the tone of your emails could be better.
