Hi, List. I agree with Angel about his feeling. As example I can point to one provided patch:

I posted it and didn't get any comments (negative or positive). So I just use it in my enviroment.

Hi all,
First of all, I must say I love to contribute to the kannel project, and I tried hard months ago to be more active, both with comments/votes/advice and mainly with new code/ideas/features.
We use kannel hard to process heavy premium-sms traffic (several millions MOs/month), so I guess we have dealed with the kind of issues you might expect doing this business: thousands of sms-services, sessions, centralized accounting, and so on. Not so much familiar with the heavy push-only business (although there we have the push-guru Alex :-)
My main concern about our loss in activity in the devel list is the somewhat random criteria to accept or reject contributions: a developer is mainly motivated to contribute to an open source project if he/she sees his/her work is being taken into consideration, becames part of the tree, you know what.
But here, to be frank, I have certain bad feelings that my contributions (not only code, but also ideas, suggestions, RFCs, etc.) have not been very sucessful (surely for very good reasons), but anyway you cannot abstract from that feelings.
It comes to my minf for example discussing the need to make billing-info flow from smsbox to bearerbox (and there were several patches for that, not mine I have to say), and everybody replying that billing were something outside the scope of kannel, and so on, so we had the extra work of keeping that kind of patch in sync with cvs version, and then one day, voilá, &binfo= appears without any further explanation. That is the kind of randomness I'm referring to.
Nobody takes offense from my comments, please.
I'm just trying to explain my thoughts.
Cheers.
