You are indeed right. However, I might just be also interested to
review/comment code, discuss regressions, and architecture, for a
change ;-)

Unfortunately, such threads rarely ever happens. Most of the time, the
only food provided is a really indigestible +5000/-3000 patch, where
all the thinking, architectural design and code has been done behind
closed door of a limited few committers, research lab or company.
