I just responded to your PR.  Thanks for pointing it out again.  We
manage a lot of repos and only use github for publishing public mirrors
and receiving PRs.  Sometimes this means PRs slip through the cracks if
no one prods us.  That is to say: if anyone thinks they're owed a
response on a PR or patch or any other contribution, please do pipe up
to get our attention again.

I'm sorry your contributing experience was lousy.

That is an unnecessary change, and should have been closed long ago.
I've now done so.  The simple solution is specifying a server of
"ldaps://example.com" instead of just "example.com".
