Did you know that my addition of target NativeNT was published as patch to the bug tracker? Did you know that I wrote patches for the cppclass feature to get it a bit more working than before? It was only the class helpers where I got access to a personal branch in SVN and only the generics when I got access to trunk.

Obviously, once somebody submits a patch it's there for anybody to consult and use. So people who are into vanity publication shouldn't feel left out: if it's good, the community will read it :-)

I think it's a pity though that, particularly once an issue is closed, it can be difficult to find the attached discussion etc. Some way of finding all patches which have been submitted against a particular unit could be useful, since whether accepted or not the discussion could be enlightening and in some cases rejected code could be a useful starting point if somebody later has a related problem.
