Unfortunately true. The problem there is that we have had hard time
finding targets --- i.e. specific patch sets that need merge --- for DEX
activities. I've been repeatedly calling for suggestions on that front
both on this list and during my DebConf11 talk, with little
success. Suggestions can of course come from both camps, but it seems to
be easier to pinpoint at specific non-merged patch than finding groups
of them that constitute a good target in need of substantial work.
Similarly, it's sad that we didn't manage to start DEX sub-projects for
other derivatives, it seems hard to believe that there are no patch sets
elsewhere than in Ubuntu that deserve merge.
Once more, ideas on how to target this (mostly social) blockers are very
welcome.
Thanks for reminding us of this!
Cheers.
