It's all logistics issues on your side; I don't care about the community dynamics. I just care how GNOME community as a whole treat third-party developers. It boils down simply to a trivial reference counting issue. "People urge to have this bug fixed " has nothing to do with "people want to take over PyGTK". _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
