Doug:
My apologies if I came off seeming angry and/or trying to lobby to be
a committer. Neither is the case.
I am expressing a concern with how patches are being handled with
this project, and providing my view point on how this can be better managed.
Of course my concern can be either accepted or rejected. I just hope the
committers would be "calm" enough to be able to see criticisms for what they
are.
I am a strong advocate of Lucene, hence my passion for its success.
