Exactly how many maintainers have shown interest in this? I think most
of us are way too busy trying our best to make Free Software as
awesome as we possibly can that we can't be bothered by such
non-issues. As maintainer of some of the GNOME modules, I'm asking you
to stop this please.

I know you mean well and If you really want to help, I have like a
gazillion things on my TODO list that most people on this list will
agree are essential to world domination of GNOME (and therefore Free
Software). Contact me privately and I can provide you with a list.
