Put yet another way, if you ask me "why isn't foo done?" I'll most
probably just answer "because I haven't had time to do it, and nobody
else took the time to do it.  If you ask me "could foo be done
then?", I'll answer "sure, patch welcome".  If you ask me "I've had a
look, we could just apply this patch, move that, do this, and then we
get foo done", then the time for me to actually do it becomes almost
zero, and thus I'll happily do it.  Yes, it means spending time on how
to do it, but if nobody else spends it, I'll have to do it, but god
knows when I'll find time to do it among all other urging matters.
