Hi Terry,

Picking a random patch, another small request process wise.

If you agree with all suggestions in a review, don't reply to that email
just put your thanks and what changed in the change log of the next version.

Skipping that reply cuts down on the volume of emails that need scrolling
through and generally helps people focus on the emails that matter where there
is a question or similar.

This one gets a lot of contributors because it feels rude to not reply
but doing it via the next version is more efficient for everyone!

Jonathan

p.s. I only bother moaning about this to contributors who are sending
     quite a bit of useful stuff!
