Re: [RFC] Call for more development participation

Hi Slava,

as a known open-source-process , no votes/comments are equal to +0 , so you as 
a one that have write access should just commit things, because some time for

Only one comment from me: I'm +1 for this patch , but please add this new 
config option to userguide. We _must_ keep userguide uptodate.
