We're fully aware of that and it actually took us a bit to make things 
build for us at Univa again (but on the face of it only a few days, 
really). But since this has been accomplished and works reliably now it 
is also not a focus area for us. There are just more important things 
for us to do right now.

We'll welcome improvements and are definitely willing to assist with 
advice but we can't dedicate more to effort to this right now.

Is it because of the missing contributor agreement that you can't 
contribute them right now? This is something we should take off-line and 
address at the steering committee level then.

Or is there something else?
