No, we do all of this for fame and fortune.
We WANT to see our name in research papers. (preferable in a country
where we might be looking for work!)

If you haven't already done so, read "The Cathedral and the Bazaar"
(and related works) by Eric S Raymond.

Jonathon, I would be happy to be interviewed and I am the current Apache
SpamAssassin Project Management Committee Chair. You can choose to
credit or not credit my work as you see fit. However, as noted above,
you might have more interviewees if you offered it as a choice to remain
anonymous.
Email me off list to discuss further.
