I totally share your concerns on this, although I’d say that Sparkle
didn’t have any organised development for a while so there won’t be
much to destroy.
But (with my limited experience) I have to say that I was positively
surprised when using git/github. It seems quite different in spirit
than the svn-style. Essentially people are encouraged to create their
own forks and push/publish their changes to their own account on the
repository. I particularly liked that anybody can do that without
needing to ask/beg for write access and doing so will not derange the
main development line. That way your changes are visible and the
project maintainers can include them, but it’s their responsibility
whether or when they want to do it. I also like to think that github
drawing little graphs with the different contributions may help
shaming project maintainers into looking at the submitted patches.
Just a general remark, I guess you’re right that it’s not worth going
to far into this wrt BibDesk – particularly as your fixes made their
way already.
