I have been lurking on this list for many years, probably a decade.
I like the progress of GCC and its technology, esp. algorithms and data
structures,
which are exciting.
Yet, I do not contribute to GCC due to my priorities in life and not due
to any other technicality. There is family, work, graduate studies
(where I develop new constraint solver technologies) and dancing. Too
many things too little time. GCC is currently below the other things in
my list.
I could have tried to change my working place and to become a paid to
develop for GCC, but it seems to be a feat too difficult for my part
time job. I had played with these thoughts several years ago, before
starting my graduate studies, and I don't really remember why I stayed
at my current working place.

This seems to be the question running around the blogosphere for

list but hardly say or do anything.
What reasons keep you from contributing to GCC?
Cheers,
Manuel.
PS: Actually, I am not sure how many people read this list and not contribute.
