Turning tables much? You should interpret the number of developers on
the projects into reasons of it being so.

Apparently you are not too busy to participate in flame, but too busy
to see an email from potential contributor.

Last time I've used IRC was like 10 years ago. Another archaic tech
I(anyone else willing to participate) have to use because why exactly?

Emails are at least searchable.

I'm not planning to work on GIMP any more, thank you very much.

Turning tables #2. You pointed to 3 times you did not get the answer
as a reason to dump Github idea. You are blaming.
I'm underlining your position, along with it's consequences, that's all.

That Gimp project is unfriendly, here I spelled it for you.

Turning tables #3.

You know, issues, project boards, UI what does not require reloading a
page to see the update, etc,etc.

But that is for hipsters, of course. Nothing to do with giving people
idea what how than can contribute.
