 RM> What exactly is missing from the source tarball?

I do not care about the sources. I care about the binary distribution.

 RM> And I want world peace!

No you do not.

You are just expressing a desire about something that you actually will do
nothing about.

 RM> In the meantime I think it is REALLY better if you stick with your
 RM> ancient package. Better for you, better for us.

No you do not. 

You are pretending to suggest that it is better for me to use an old version
because you hope bugs in it will irreparably corrupt my message bases and
cause permanent data loss or other bad things to happen.
 
 MJ> Somebody in charge has to say "This is the current stable release".

 RM> here you are:
 RM> https://github.com/golded-plus/golded-plus/releases

I suppose that is better than nothing.

 RM> But the snapshots are as stable as the stable release.
 RM> That is why most of us use the current snapshot.

Who said the snapshots are as stable as the release ? If that was the case,
then it would be the latest release. 

The chronic displacement of releases by snapshots is evidence that the
maintainers have no confidence in their work.
