Well, more exactly, people invited are the ones who have a major GTK+ feature
in the works already, so we invite them to get face to face with the
maintainers and other developers, present to them, discuss any remaining
issues, work them out, and ideally get the work merged in.  So, *going* to
GTK+ Hackfest to start bringing something up is not the best way to approach
this.  If someone can start discussion about outstanding a11y issues with GTK+
and come up with an action plan, it may justify bringing them to the hackfest
to further that plan.
