How many times people need to be told to put their damned code in sources?
Or is this such a totally crazy thing to ask of a supposedly open
source project?

Or is asking people to do 9fs + cp(1) too much? Of course it would be
better if people actually posted a short comment about their work to
9fans, but I can do even without that as long as people puts the
damned code somewhere where others can find it.

Because it is not the first, second or third time we have to go
through this ridiculous game. It was embarrassing enough to have
people submit one GSoC proposal after another where we had to tell
them "oh, I'm sorry, that is already done, it is just that whoever did
it has not bothered to release the code so far, please come up with
another project".
