Yeah, we went around this a bit on cygwin-apps.

Marking these as accelerators in the drop-down menu is apparently 
problematic in some way I don't recall the details of now (and is 
usually hidden nowadays unless you opened the menu via a keypress).

The intended meaning is that replies to that email are for reporting 
problems with that release.

It's perfectly permissible to start a new email thread with a feature 
request for setup.  Of course, the likely response is "that's an idea, 
but someone has to do it" :)

I'll try to tweak that sentence for clarity in future.
