Could anybody post the text of one of these "nasty grams?" I can understand the sense in just checking in to make sure a developer still is interested in Gentoo and wants to retain cvs access. However, I think the bar for keeping access should be kept low - they shouldn't be forced to go find some trivial change to make just to get their name in the logs. Sure, sometimes real life gets busy, but if a dev still runs Gentoo and has interest they're fairly likely to return when life settles down. Quantity of contribution is not nearly as important as the contributions being net-positive. Rich
