[Freeciv-Dev] Re: Submit patch again?

["Mike Jing" <miky40@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bert,

Please don't be offended when a patch doesn't get much response from the 
maintainers and others on the list.  There could be many reasons for the 
lack of response.  There might be a lack of interest, or people are simply 
too busy with other things at the moment.  If it is something you are really 
interested in, don't get discouraged, but simply try raising the issue again 
by starting a discussion.  Patience and persistence will go a long way 
towards getting your ideas and patches accepted.
I think you should know that Freeciv can always use more help from anyone, 
and you are certainly very welcome to contribute.  However, you should also 
realize that it takes time to make significant changes to the code, and the 
final decision is made by the maintainers, based on consensus among the 
developers.  Often times it simply means the idea or patch needs more work.  
Don't give up so easily.  Believe me, we don't want to lose you.
Cheer up.  And happy coding.

Mike
