Anyone is welcome to help out on IRC.

I don't really get your comment though. Sometimes people do not want to
switch, so ehr.. they say so and I continue giving the best advice while
keeping in mind that restriction. So sometimes I've said 'ask your
distro'.

It wasn't about GNOME 3 ppa, it was about how to contribute to GNOME.

Due note: I gave the best advice what was known to me and nobody else
responded. Maybe what you suggested would've solved it, no idea, I
didn't know, nobody else responded.
