What if you never receive the email, because, say, I have redirected
all email to uji.es into the bit-bucket?  I've sent you the email, but
I'm not responsible for you receiving it.

This is not a good idea.  Much better to include in the README a
request to send back modifications for incorporation into the code
base.
