Subject: Re: participation & contribution [was: Latest changes with lisp/uni-*.el and leim/quail]
Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2013 18:05:46 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <878uw5o2p1.fsf@floss.red-bean.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <f68d749a-877f-4cd0-84d0-826a2391f8a6@default> (Drew Adams's message of "Sat, 30 Nov 2013 10:41:30 -0800 (PST)")
The thread has gone on for a long time, I realize, but Dani should be
backed up here. He did nothing wrong, and shouldn't have been
chastised. What he did is normal & seen in lots of projects (and we'd
probably see it more often here if Emacs were more amenable to drive-by
contributions in general).
Dani offered a contribution into which he put the amount of effort he
was prepared to put. If committing it via bzr is too much trouble for
him, then it's too much trouble for him. Surely Dani is the world's
greatest expert on what's worth his time and what's not. If someone
here is paying him a salary to contribute to Emacs, please speak up.
Jarek Czekalski wrote "If you, Dani, don't want to learn bzr, others may
not want to waste time on commiting patches that are not useful to
them." That's perfectly fair -- but Dani never objected to that
reasoning. He (and others) objected to him being *criticized*. It's
fine to choose not to commit his patch; it's not fine to flame him for
having different priorities from some other developers.
