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.
