Well, the problem of this project (as well as AVRDUDE) is that I'm
almost alone as active developer. In avr-libc, there's still
Pitchumani (of Atmel India), but most others here can be considered
casual contributors at best.
Given that, and that I've got a day job, a family, as well as other
hobbies (I'm not only a developer, but would also like to use that
stuff for my own hobby work), I have a tendency to dedicate some of
my sparetime to these projects rather in larger "chunks", often
eventually then be followed up by a new release. That's also where
I do most of the work on bug and patch trackers.
Of course, I absolutely wouldn't mind having more developers being
active here, but as long as it's a one-man show (or two-man, in caes
of Pitchumani), I somehow have to slice up the time I can spend in
these projects. Otherwise, I'd quickly be burned out completely.
Thus, on simple (and obvious) bugs, I'm just about to fix them in one
of those time slots. I'm trying to be more responsive for things that
really need to be discussed though, or if questions arise.
Sorry for this, but it's the current state. This is not Linux, it's
not FreeBSD (all with a large number of active developers), it's not
KiCAD (which I appreciate very much myself, btw.).
