There's just something I'm clearly not understanding here. For the first year or so of linuxbios, I was the gatekeeper. Nobody but me could push into the repo. We had lots of involvement. For many open source projects I've been contributing to, there's always a set of gatekeepers, and there's tons of community involvement. E.G., Go has a restricted set of people who can let a patch go into the upstream, and there is no shortage of people contributing. When I worked on FreeBSD, I was never one of the people who could push a patch into the repo, but my changes were accepted. It never bothered me much; those were the rules and I thought they made sense. So what is the issue again? I'm trying to understand. Is it the limited number? Is it the existence of gatekeepers at all? ron -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
