:None of that excuses the extreme abuse that Matt has done.  I think
:you are over-stating things here.

    Oh?  You want to talk about abuse?  Just look at the IRC logs.  I've
    played nice with the UCRED stuff, and so far all I have to show for it
    is 10 days of sitting on my buns with a perfectly good set of patches
    sleeping in my tree.  But that will be the last time.

    If someone is actually actively working on something I will not tromp
    all over their feet.  I do not consider letting a patch go stale in a
    private tree for months on end to be 'actively working on something'.
    I do not consider having hundreds of kilobytes of uncomitted patches
    covering almost every source file in sys/ over a period of a year or
    more to be 'actively working on something', and neither should anyone
    else in this list.

    I can work with Alfred's suggestion but only if it's used in the right
    way.  I will absolutely not accept someone like JHB asking me to wait
    *every* *single* *time* I have a contribution.  Some times, sure.  But
    not *every* time.  That is abuse of the project in my opinion.
