Agreed this is pretty bad idea. The teams should actually have their top priority to include user contributions to main tree as much as possible. If the team does not have time to maintain the named package, just add some contributors as maintainers and do proxy-commits for them... The greatest problem at least from my PoV is that we can't just simply git am loads of stuff users are contributing and must convert to cvs (thats actually what takes me most of the time). Having nice mailinglist where users can contribute simple patches would be briliant thing to use :-) Cheers Tom
