I tried contributing over at the Tomcat project and really just got abused
by the team there. One of the committers publicly called me a liar ( I
hadn't), while another committer said his basis for rejecting my code was
because of specific code artifact. I called him on the presence of the
artifact, and rather than admitting he was wrong, he maintained the artifact
was present even though I looked at the CVS commmit, and it plainly wasn't
there. This artifact is non-ambiguous in nature, and not interpretive. In
short, one committer rejected my code and called me a liar, while another
rejected my code and lied about the reason. It doesn't really give me a good
feeling about trying to contribute.

These attacks were after I took their initial comments about my submission
and re-worked the submission to address their wants and desires.

It will be a while before I try to contribute. I have my own project, open
source and closed source that I can work on with out being abused.

My issue is that shops who are committed to MySQL want to use my product.
I'm really just trying to get along here.
