Even if one spends the effort to improve it, the attempt gets ignored unless it's some critical issue. If the attempt was a bug report, it gets a priority and everyone forgets about it. If it was a patch in gerrit, no one will review it in months and years even though you added the module maaintainer from the change creation. -- Development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
