</div>While I sympathize with what you're saying, this sounds kind of<br>
orthogonal to me. Sure, we can do better at handling contributions. But<br>
it's an opensource project, everybody does whatever he wants mostly (in<br>
the frame that the project sets).<br>
<br>
Saying to Laurens that we have limited "resources" and that he should do<br>
something else doesn't mean that this second task will be done. But it<br>
surely means that first one won't.<br>
