Sometimes, we hear about people "voting with their feet". Here, we invite people to vote with their hands, by collaborating on code and documentation. It's not up to anyone else. It's up to everyone who volunteers. Here, the only decisions that matter are patches and commits, because without commits, nothing can change.
Interesting... It's not really up to those that "vote", it is always in the end up to those that "commit". Every time a contribution is turned away, that is in essence saying "your vote doesn't count, at least this time", isn't it?
Discussion is good. Stepping up to the plate and making a difference is better.
But how many times have people stepped up and been stopped from making a difference? In the end, isn't it the committers that have the power to direct where things go, regardless of what the community "votes"? As Craig said, a good community-driven project will listen to the community.
