out of my pov there is no big problem, my quick summary of the history:
1) it *seemed* hard to get patches in when the gatekeepers were still
around (i didn't try)
2) respected gatekeepers have left the building (geoff was last iirc)
3) lots of stuff get fixed in 9front
4) nobody on 9fans realizes bec. the main developer doesn't care about
credit or trolling as much as discussing boring technical (results in
killfile on 9fans) issues.
5) 9front attracts lots of trolls that are able to use the system
efficiently and are now contributing patches back to the effort.
6) skip continues to protect the doormat somebody forgot in front, but
he never dared to look up at the long demolished building.
