Revisiting typo in `release()`

[Ilia-Kosenkov]

While preparing for a package release, I ran devtools::check_win_devel(), which prompted me with something like this:

> devtools::check_win_devel()
Building windows version of package (version)
ℹ Using R-devel with win-builder.r-project.org.
Email results to e@ma.il?

1: Yup
2: I forget
3: Uhhhh... Maybe?

What caught my eye was option two, 'I forget'. To me, a non-native English speaker, this sounds grammatically incorrect. The present tense is usually used to describe a recurring event, which is not really suitable for a situation when someone forgot their email.

This option distinctly stands out among all other no options found here: https://github.com/r-lib/devtools/blob/69d610414c69748d7b5bbe7d890e228bdb5b18ff/R/release.R#L151

Reasonable alternatives would be:

• 'I forgot', the closest to the existing choice of words
• 'I don't know', communicates a similar lack of confidence in the ownership of the email displayed
• 'I keep forgetting', in case the intent was to suggest an option that a person keeps forgetting their email (a recurring event)

I also found an issue from 2020 #2231 which discusses the same topic, but the author seemed to have closed it too fast so it got no real attention from the maintainers.

This is a generic prompt for yes/no questions, and while casual, I think "I forget" is fine in this context.
