Contributions silently ignored - now what?

[Vladimir Marek]

Hi,

first of all, I'm not hg developer, so can't help you here directly.

Yeah, I know that feeling. But since people are mostly doing opensource
in their free time, it's hard to push. I have several programs modified
to my liking, and I stopped bother to try to push them back. Instead I
created system which keeps my patches up to date with upstream (search
goose in this alias).

Especially in the early stages of a project (like mercurial now), when
there's quite a lot of changes, one can be forgotten easily.

I checked the link, and there does not seem to be patch attached. Maybe
the web alias interface can't handle patches ? If I check the two bugs
referenced in the mail, there also is not seen any proposed fix. So it
might increase your chances if you comment in the relevant bugs.

Good luck
