Yes, I think that's the page everyone is on.

Unlike you... I am NOT paid to work on Apache and >I just don't have the time. [...] Actually, I invest far more than 40 hours in my work and Apache time, and I know of many others (from other companies) that do likewise. But you just hit the nail on the head, "NO WAY". Nobody suggested that the core committers must single-handedly review the wealth of patches that are offered on this list and added to bugzilla! How can we communicate to this list, bugzilla users and others, that all it takes is to vote on the patch (in bugzilla, or by posting to this list) that the proposed solution actually solves the problem, and didn't break anything else in the process?!? "It works for me" are the four sweetest words to read when any of us are spending a free hour looking for patches to consider and apply! >Besides, I'm also about 100% >sure you don't want me reviewing patches for Apache. >Newcomers can go read some archived messages >if they are curious about the history there. ) If the casual reader is wondering why Kevin is unfortunately not been welcomed with open arms, by all means do go back over those archives.
