I'm a bit curious on that front. I've submitted some patches for NS6, anyone
on the developers must know about them, I've dropped hints about them being
put into CVS numerous times. They never have been put into CVS, and I've
never received any explanation why not. Fair enough if my fixes aren't good
enough, if that's why they aren't going in tell me, perhaps I can improve
them. But it is frustrating not knowing, and it's not a great incentive to
carry on trying to contribute.

I'm sure this goes for anyone who's trying to help out, if your help is
completely ignored then you stop helping. mind you if your efforts are
completely shot down, perhaps you stop helping too. so be nice when you tell
people they their code is shite ;-)
