People who are able to use and comment on the subject are also able to
contribute IMO, if they give priority to this. So I don't buy the 'I
can't' argument. On the other hand: everybody can set it's own
priorities and decide not to contribute. That's okay. However be
prepared for some response if you often suggest work to be executed
you could do yourself...

I close the subject by saying I've posted on the list a few times on
this subject and the rest in SVN, so feel free to dig into this if you
think it is 'precious'.
And since I prefere programming over documentation, I won't be posting
HTML pages and explain stuff unless I have a special interest in the
subject.

You are right if it is subject I have choosen myself. In this case
there was a message 'there is something wrong, this is important to me
since it affects the progress of my project, please help', I spent a
few evenings on this and came up with a basic sollution that could be
extended to the whole libraries and asked to take a look and to judge
if this would be a good sollution. I would expect at least some
response within 3 months.
But that's not the point. The point is that there was untested
software and I had either to judge, test and extend it myself or
revert it. I did the last, amongst others since it is no software I
would use and thus have no strong opinion about it.

No, I am not...
