Yes, I noticed. Every now and then I see a patch posted to this list and wonder whether I should handle the commit, but then I end up not doing it because chances are someone else is doing it at the same time, and then the effort would be wasted. It's a tricky situation that could be avoided by having an established process, like bug tracker, that makes those responsibilities clear. Anyhow, my impression is that Nix is in a development stage where those kind of problems -- end-user problems -- are not perceived as central. The consensus seems to be that Nix users should just get an SVN account and commit. End-users don't do that, but apparently end-users aren't really the target audience yet.
