meh...
If you are curious about why i twice did try to pick up and fix an
issue without any questions and discussion, it was partly because of
http://percival-music.ca/blogfiles/sustainable.pdf (page 24, "net gain
to the project"). Unfortunately i was unlucky and now i don't trust
our issue tracker (i'm just stating a fact).
This is also the reason why i didn't ask questions "every 10 minutes":
i didn't want to spend advanced developers' precious time until i
really got stuck and really required help to proceed - hoping that
developers would be grateful for not wasting their time and express
this by responsing promptly when i finally asked for help.
As we have seen, this didn't work...
