It was Lindar, and aside from mild annoyance with him due to his
somewhat abrasive personality, it worked out fine; he was trolling
the mailing list history for me for things to reference from BPFK
pages so that we have knowledge of what historically has been
contentious or complicated or whatever.  He did, in fact, find and
link to many many things; it looked like enough work to match what
we paid him for.
