See, I don't care what the mechanism is to allowing an outside contributor to improve GDB is, I just want find it and do it. I don't care if Andrew is slow at reviewing my patches, it doesn't make me mad at Andrew, since everyone has there own time to put towards there own goals. However, if Andrew as "head maintainer" is not going to change the GDB development process, to allow any outside contributor (me) to work on GDB within a reasonable time frame, there then there is a real problem. I am still trying to figure out if there is a loophole in Andrew's system (note, I didn't say GDB's system) that will allow an outside contributor to give back to GDB with in a reasonable amount of time, or if for some reason, he's trying to block all large amount of contributor's development. Well, Andrew, is there a loophole? Andrew, I'm started to get fed up with your complete lack of response. Will you please take me serious, pick up your role as head maintainer, and respond to my allegations? This way, I'll at least know what the possibilities of accomplishing my goals here are.
