Hi,
Some time ago on this mailing list I expressed concern about the way Nominatim is being maintained.

I've re-read https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2017-February/029683.html and https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2017-February/029684.html and I still don't see "hostility" in there.  Your message, the original of which wasn't archived by the list because it didn't contain any plain text is visible as the "replied to" text of https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2017-February/029683.html .

Silly question - if you'd like to see different functionality in Nominatim why don't you just fork it?

I'm not involved with Nominatim at all (other than as an occasional user) but I can think of plenty of occasions in the past where I've hit similar problems to you and done exactly that, such as the "switch2osm" and "zoom" branches of https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/mod_tile .  Why was that not an option for you here?

(crossposting to "talk" removed again)

Best Regards,

Andy
