I read his opinions and agree with it in most of parts. The quality of commiters are not satisfactory even in the "quality over quantity" approach with the number of open PR's with patch supplied. I will scan email but am not interested in joining the discussion. However, let me know if conclusion ends up some way of seeking more helps. I can spare some time for 1. testing and verifying PR's with patches and/or 2. closing too old PR's with apologise to bug reporters. Some bug reports are already too old and lost their values. Hiro
