Indeed, someone could do this if they're interested in it, in their own
fork. That's what I said too. But it's no longer our issue.

With the "main project" here I mean the issue list of bitcoin/bitcoin
project on github, which only deals with that project (and not that of the
forks, which have their own issue lists). You can argue the "main"-ness but
it's just a mailing list message and not some official document deciding
about the future of bitcoin, so I did not feel like specifying it to that
level of detail.

I think it would be ideal if someone wanted to take up wxBitcoin. Maybe after 
backporting to wx 2.8...

That being said, I have no interest, as I hate wx, and prefer Qt in general ;)

Please be careful to avoid the centralization mindset. There is no "main 
project"; there is bitcoind, wxBitcoin, Bitcoin-Qt, MultiBit, and many other 
non-functional clients, which should be given equal footing (before 
considering their differences). There shouldn't be given any special treatment 
to bitcoind and Bitcoin-Qt just because "Gavin et al" happen to maintain it.

KDE literally just closed a bug of mine that I reported in 2002, because the 
component with the bug hasn't been part of KDE since 2008.

[Bitcoin-development] Closing issues on github

2011-12-04 Thread John Smith
Hi,

This weekend I closed some old github issues that are no longer
reproducible in more recent versions, or needed input from the submitter
but were stalling for months.

I've also closed some issues that deal purely with Wx UI issues like this
one:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/425

I think my statement is valid, that we no longer support the old UI? Or
maybe some people want to take up maintenance of the old UI? I don't think
that has very high priority, and should probably not be in the main project.

Some of the older issues are absolutely still relevant, but 150+ open
issues is not something to be proud of, and I wonder how other open source
projects deal with this without too much stepping on people's toes :-)
