... on this note, I for one would be more willing/excited to
contribute more to PCB if the developers were more responsive to
patches.  The SF tracker is full of open patches, some of which are
discussed, but most of which sit there with no reply at all from the
developers.  I've also seen a few patches sent to this list (mine
included, but others as well) go completely ignored.  I realize this
all takes precious time away from development, but IMHO, spending 15
minutes to look at a patch that someone has spent a good amount of
time putting together (almost certainly way more time than it takes to
review/apply it) is generally better spent than 15 minutes on the
source code, whether or not the patch ends up getting accepted. It is
hard to justify spending time working on a project when there's a
decent chance that your work will be ignored.

Just my two cents,  </rant>
