Rome was not built in a day and 6 months is not a ton of time for things like this :). I've seen projects take 12 months to "warm up". Some recent examples: * http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-drill-dev/ * http://search-hadoop.com/Kafka + http://search-hadoop.com/?q=&fc_project=Kafka&fc_type=mail+_hash_+dev * ...
This is completely normal. I wouldn't give up after 6 months. Also, is Rsyslog on Github or just switched to git? I found http://git.adiscon.com/?p=rsyslog.git;a=summary after googling, but not the Github repo.... https://www.google.com/search?q=rsyslog+github ? Git if fine, but I think Github's collaborative model is what is great about it, not that it uses git, though git is what partially makes such collaboration possible.
