To preface a little, I do appreciate and respect the way things are handled regarding accepting and rejecting issues, and letting authors know for the latter. With that said, I thought it would be good if I can give my honest feedback, or what I think might be the issue, if you will! ^^ I'm sorry if this has been suggested before, but here it goes.
The current state of doing things from my understanding is that if the issue is accepted, a TG is sent to the author, letting them know about it. On the other hand, a rejection is silent - with no follow-up or anything unless perhaps you ask an Issue Editor.
I was wondering if that could be changed, if it is okay with everyone else, of course. I personally feel that a rejection deserves a mention by TG as well, especially for people such as myself who wanted a closure. I know the best thing is to simply move on and write the next draft, but it would really be something that I would like if I get into issue-writing sometime in the future. I personally would face rejection even if can be demotivating, than to be in the dark about that one issue I have submitted and have not heard back for weeks, months... Years.
Again, I understand that change does not happen overnight and often it might not be implemented in favour of the current workflow. Sending rejection letters would definitely take up more time, that is a certain drawback.
Thanks for hearing me out, and hope I am not rude in suggesting this sort of thing (it's hard to convey at times in text form!)
