Well, you know, XFree86's disregard for offers to help made by developers that have been with the project for over two years are certainly part of the problem.
Err, this is about bug triage, which you can do just as well as everybody else.
No, this is about my submitting Cygwin-specific bugs that can't actually be assigned to me for committing them, even though I am the "expert" on Cygwin/XFree86. This thread started to point out the hypocrisy of the situation and to see what the official response to this was.
When I discussed this with you privately a while ago all I got were disrespectful and insulting responses. Now there is more of the same. As a volunteer myself, I don't have to take this type of attitude from you or from anyone else. And I won't.
David,
I mentioned that failure to commit my patches in a timely manner causes me to have a hard time figuring out which have been committed and which haven't (this was when I was sending patches to [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
You probably never saw this system from the standpoint of a non-commit developer. The problem here is that you send a patch to the list, it randomly gets committed by someone (you don't know who in advance, so you have to track everyone's committs), then you have to figure out who committed it (if anyone) and if it was done correctly. The system was a mess and did not aid non-commit developers in tracking their patches.
Your response to this comment was that I was unorganized and that it cause by my lack of attention to detail.
Was that a respectful and non-insulting response to my message?
Is this my formal message to piss off?
Harold
