Indeed unfortunally I don't offer as much help as I would like to, but
at least I don't get in the way *smile*
Imagine that on top of that, he would have to commit your patches, my
patches, etc.
It does look like it is work to do the same job.

If we don't sort out how we are going to work, this move could just
send ppl away, frustrated because we can't get things done.
I for one am still clueless on how should I continue to contribute,
and yet I'm afraid that I will have to keep track of several different
trees, on top of the 2 I already have (My private development +
upstream buildroot).
