Dear Jeff,
please stop using the mailing list as a high-frequency chat. In my opinion, this does not help anyone, neither you, nor other developers who have to sort through outdated little notes (or just delete them alltogether).
It is great to see that you found topics you love and that you work on those heavily. But please have some patience with the rest of the world: For many (all?) of us, Inkscape is a part-time hobby; progress happens over the course of months, not hours.
If this is too slow for your progress, you are always welcome to code a draft of what you want, discuss and clean up the the appropriate GitLab issues, solve bugs that are in your way, and use the chat to find more people interested in your topics. Sending all those emails, however, will probably not help.
Thanks for your understanding
Max
