Right now, I translate the entries and tell Alex "venture forth, my brave
committer and inflict them on freefall". With the bit, I would just put
them there myself. On the other hand, Alex would probably be delighted to
tell me "Go and do it yourself".

There's one thing I forgot in my first answer: I'm certain that Dirk and
Robert can be trusted with a commit. They have one in the German repo.
On the other hand, I do not trust myself with anything ;-)

Yes, I was idealistic (or, in hindsight, stupid) enough to spend lots of
time on "infrastructure-like" (nice phrase) and other work for the FDP. The
results of that work do not encourage me to do it again. Do the words
"excuse me for trying to help, I won't do it again" ring any bells?

I've spend too much time talking to a wall and working for the trash can.
That are the reasons why I concentrate my time on the FGDP, not some
unimportant difference in opinion.

Why is it that if someone tells you that there are 1 billion stars in the

you will have to touch it to be sure?
