Ok ok, you are right.

I was (maybe) technically good in software development, but socially I'm a 
disaster. I must admit it to myself. Doing code reviews well is not a skill 
that I have. We cannot be good at everything. I sometimes have problems to work 
with other people (but it is maybe a skill that can be learned, even for 
stubborn people).

Recently, I've really considered re-orienting myself, to do another job, far 
away from computer science.

Maybe I need to take a vacation, but I have already been in "vacation" for 
several years now… Hum. Anyway, I'm alright, I'm safe. But you need to know 
that contributing to Free Software has made me suffer more than doing good, for 
my health. At the beginning it was fun, but it seems an eternity ago to me. 
(Maybe it's not just Free Software, but computer science and software 
development in general).

So, hum, for gspell, I don't care anymore. Do whatever you want.

If I'm again motivated by gedit, gspell, etc, I'll rename the git repos and 
develop/install my own versions.

(Recently, I _was_ motivated, hence the stuff on GitHub, but this is the kind 
of discussion that makes me reconsider what I do in my life).

I hope that I will find a better occupation. But with a computer at home with 
access to the internet, I inevitably end up again typing on the keyboard, 
learning a bit different programming languages to see if the grass is greener 
elsewhere (even with a language like Rust I find several big disappointments, 
just to give you an idea. It seems that I'm unable to like computer science 
again).

So, that's it.

Why talking about all that? Because, that's mainly a social issue than a 
technical one. And behind a social issue, there are people. Overall, over the 
years GNOME has done a great job, even if it's hard to please everybody at the 
same time.

Sorry for the noise and the long message.
