Patches to problems are never an intrusion. New ideas and discussions are also great. That's how a project moves forward. Seriously, we have commiters here that commit almost everyday (like myself). I'm paid to work on CXF (if I don't get sidetracked with other things like going to ApacheCon) so I'm definitely a busier one here. However, there are also commiters that commit a change very infrequently. Many of them are/were users that found enough bugs and submitted fixes that they were granted committership because fixing bugs is important. They've also helped answer questions on the lists (which you also do) and in general, have helped out CXF. We definitely don't demand a 40 hour work week. :-) One "problem" a larger project like CXF does have is "tracking" who supplied useful patches. Maybe I applied 2 of your patches, Benson applied a couple, Sergey a couple, Eoghan a couple, etc.... We may have collectively not realized how much has been submitted. If that does happen, I apologize, but definitely suggest pinging one of us and just mention it and ask what else do folks suggest to help you get more involve. Such a ping usually can trigger a review and possibly a vote. Anyway, I definitely want to encourage you to log any issues and attach patches. Heck, even samples and documentation are a HUGE help.
