An appropriate solution is for any of the OTRS people on this list to
take it up on the OTRS mailing list.

I am a mostly inactive OTRS member, but I have (or had) tool access
and am on the mailing list.  I will raise the question on the mailing
list.

The OTRS internal mailing list is members-only, but I will forward
specific complaints or comments related to this incident to that list
if requested.  Please email them directly to me and make sure it's
clear that you're asking for it to go to the ORTS list for discussion
/ followup there.
