We usually acknowledge every community signature submission, and even work
with submitters to tweak the signature if needed.

I see that you submitted a few signatures in the past few hours, which we
will acknowledge and review in a few hours. If there are signatures that
you've submitted in the past that we did not acknowledge, they somehow have
fallen through the cracks and I sincerely apologize for that. If you could
be so kind to point them out, we'll let you know what their status is.

Thanks,

- Alain

Hello Joel,

You're right. Nothing I said was negative. We know exactly what

happens

when our testing is done. We don't know in other cases. I didn't say
anything about the quality of 3rd party signatures. In fact, the

quality

is so good, that's exactly why we are rolling out the program to protect
more people.

I have couple of signatures, handmade, I submited to community-sigs. And I
have *no news* from them.
Did they pass false positive tests ? Are they wrong ? Will they be
published one day ? Do Clamav want
better detection ratio ? If yes, the minimum is to provide news for
sigmakers that sumbit their signatures
(time and efforts) to community-sigs to be included in official Clamav
databases.

Protecting customers is a good thing. We're always going to try and do
that.

We (third parties) do that too ;)
