The very large number of people seeking for sponsors seems to suggest that we are not only not able to integrate contributors, but also that we haven't been able to integrate their work. Which is, in my eyes, a far bigger problem, as it keeps people from helping out. At the moment, I get the impression that many users got the impression that "the developers" don't want their help.

Which leaves the question why these questions are asked in the first place - are they useless? Marc -- BOFH #165: Backbone Scoliosis
