(IANADD) From what I've seen, Adam just wants things uploaded, and doesn't care at all about what happens afterwards. He doesn't ask questions à la “where can I read about this or that problem?” like a developer (or a maintainer, or whatever you call someone willing to improve things, his own skills, and so on), but rather “how can I fix that?”, then quickly moving to “tell me what I need to do” when pointed to the appropriate tools and/or documentation, because he has better to do do than reading documentation, and since he actually doesn't care at all. Speaking about the quantity vs quality, a (very) quick look at some bug summaries of his packages might help getting an idea of the huge lack of QA. aircrack-ng: #449299 — 91 days, no answer. aqualung: #448364 — 98 days, no answer. (skipping other bugs, 74 days each, no answer.) audacious-plugins: #453634 — 65 days, no answer. #436004 — 183 days, no answer. #436157 — 182 days, no answer. #437362 — 175 days, no answer. #453634 — 130 days, no answer. filezilla: #427821 — 242 days, no answer. Looking at fuse… Steve's mail also reminds me of his (read: Adam's) lack of skills reading sending emails. Like basically specifying a subject, sending the commands to the BTS to the correct address, specifying the version correctly, etc. -- Cyril Brulebois
