AFAIR at the beginning there was some spikes on group with me involved but
this was due to lack of wiki. Then I learned how group works and keep my
alternative improvements at home not bothering anybody (e.g. udev). If I
argued I had something important in mind (in case of writing code, not
organizational one). Now I do not care. Just post working improvements which
I use because I think I should contribute to distro I use. If patches will be
changed or broken later this is not my fault, whatever you do will be fine.
Lunar is designed in such genious way that I do not have to agree to every
code which comes in with lunar update. Every module I update post 3 times (1
time per version update) and watch response. Then mark it as 'ignored' if
there is none to not bother with it anymore the ML. Just keep it for myself
and interested persons. Thanks to this I'm not considered as kind of spammer
flooding group with not needed updates. Thanks to these rules everybody is
happy because there is no more hundreds of ideas 'how to improve something in
lunar' or module update flood and there is less ML messages to read everyday.
If someone feels bad because of my early 'too much rough' active development
then I say: Sorry. I was always arguing having good will in mind.
