Cameron, I think you are speaking about this:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-528 Well, that is a particular contribution that, as you wrote in the notes of the issue, was not intended for the trunk, but for a general review of the community. So, for this issue, I'd say that the lack of response is from the users/developers community (about 400 guys) and not from the committers. I'd say that taking the time to prepare good clean patches and submitting them to Jira is always worth the effort because it benefits the project, the community, and your custom project as well (less maintenance costs, maybe more tests/reviews on your work etc.) Jacopo Cameron Smith wrote: > I agree that there are many more issues than contributors. > > But I also agree about the shortage of contributors who have time to review. > When I first started using OFBiz, I submitted two very small patches and > they were quickly included.
