No, you're right.  While we'd love to see this happen we don't
have the time to do it ourselves yet.  I'm very pissed off about
SF in this regard - I understand that it's difficult for them to
service all the projects but they've simply made promises that
they've not lived up to.

It's the same for everyone AFAIK.

I actually submitted some news to slashdot criticising SF for this a couple of
months ago but unsurprisingly it didn't get published.  Actually anything I post
to SF about RG gets ignored so I kind of gave up with them.  If anyone else wants
to try to then please do.
