fuckin' perfect. and then you asking why people don't want to contribute and how to convert 'em to contributors. it's like beating a dog and then asking why it doesn't want to come closer anymore, and what was wrong. i bet telling people that their work is "low-impact" and "net negative" is one of the best ways to attract contributors. especially when people were care to explain why exactly that work was done, what it solves and why it's needed. sure, this shouldn't be taken emotionally, 'cause well, why somebody should be emotional about the work he did in his spare time and cared to share with others? he has nothing better to do anyway.
