I wonder where we would be now if people REALLY contributed code instead 
of already saying thay cannot because their code wasn't accepted once, or 
even twice!

I mean, go on other projects lists, for example the linux kernel. How many 
rebutals do you get before having a *single* line accepted? And the 
rebutals may be quite harsh, we look like white lambs beside of them (e.g. 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.lsm/1063)

So stop whining, roll up your sleeves and CODE! *YOU* are responsible if 
your code is accepted or not. Not us.
