Yes, I don't think anyone is ducking responsibilities or work. I have a huge appreciation for what everyone here is doing. Maybe I should have been clearer. Even a one-line commit is a great contribution. And then there are people who put thousands of lines in. It is awesome. And then there are people contributing documentation. This is a massive project in almost all dimensions. Even so, packaging is no rocket science and it scales with people contributing. That is my starting point. Pj. --
