Let us make sure they stay there.

I am pretty sure it is the only approach that can save a project that is
severely undercrewed of people who know the code well.

Indeed, that would be unfair. But the only unfair and dishonest thing
here is you misrepresenting my words publicly.

The quality of your contribution can be seen with `git log -p`.

What your use of GMail's software discredits is not the quality of your
contribution but the relevance of your advice on using mail.

Still that idiotic idea that attracting more newbies will solve the
issue that we do not have enough senior developers.

The current bullshit decreases the productivity of the most productive
member of the project.
