Stefan is not in the list of CC or the assigner. When you state such 
think you should make clear if he had know about it.

It happens all the time, that i miss some PRs because they were not 
assigned to me nor brought up to my attention. There are more than 2.000 
issues. I do not scan them for all of my ports or interests just to 
check, if there is something i would miss. Please keep this in mind.

Best,
Torsten
