Email - and mailinglists are a tricky, I've never enjoyed them. Maybe
the GIMP and GEGL lists will be replaced by forums as is vogue among
GNOME related projects these days. Personally I prefer IRC; responding
to email communication takes disproportionate amounts of time for me.

else? I also don't think I mentioned any problem with gimp ui in my reply email.

The followup question in your email that was not sent to the list also
asked about ways of doing reverse crop or adding a colored border to
an image in *GIMP*, maybe you meant GEGL here as well? The answer
would be the same - composite it on top of a solid colored layer.

The misunderstanding is not including the mailinglist in your reply.
When I was younger I would be asked by people to figure out and fix
the problems with their windows systems because I was "good with
computers" - despite not using windows. In the past I have also
received phone calls with support requests and feature requests for
GIMP.
