Agreed, anyone who can and wants to should be encouraged to help!

This I just don't understand, this is not some paid office drone who
really doesn't care about issue #232 as long as he gets his paycheck at
the end of the month (but what kind of developer would you be if you are
like that? ;-p). We're talking about _us_ here! If I decide to do issue
#232 I'll put as much TLC into it as I can! That's because I would care
_even_though_ it is Someboy Else's Problem. Or am I being hopelessly
naive in thinking there must be more like me?
