I think it would be easier for people to comment if you did a formal pull request against github postgis mirror

Although we don't accept issues on github, we still accept pull requests.

https://github.com/postgis/postgis/pulls

The only reason I say it would help is some in our team like to babble on and on highlighting line numbers and such they don't agree with.
I'm not one of those people, but will make life easier for those and get their attention if they have issues.

Thanks,
Regina
