I spent a number of hours out of my personal time to develop something that people can use to submit patches with very little effort. I need to clean up the tool and put it in a web page where people can download it and use it. It takes 20 seconds to run, afterwards you have to take a single file and mail it. I didn't automate the mailing part because on one hand I'm a privacy nut and the other hand it's not necessarily true that users configure their computers to be able to send mail without resorting to specific programs (Thunderbird, Evolution, whatever). The point is, I understand it's very expensive to host a git repository the size of this one (it's almost 2 GB right now). There's no "secret" git repo in Koolu, everything is built out of the publicly available sources, that's what has enabled people like Michael to build their own images and submit patches and it's very important that that keeps happening. But at the same time it's very important that people play fair and publish source BEFORE publishing binaries. I for one haven't traveled all the way to today in order to start accepting sourceless binaries like 20 years ago. You guys do whatever you think it's right, but I would, at the least, worry.
