I agree, but publicly stating that the mailer provided by GNOME is « buggy and
unreliable, and makes it pretty much impossible for me to get work done » would
not be something I expect from someone in this role. That gives a nice quote to
journalists...

I don't think anybody that is press trained and willing to help GNOME out would say something like that. They'd all have better ways to answer(avoid) the question.
