C'mon, why is that a game that only you are allowed to play?  ;-)

Because if no-one is helping work on popular software, you are left with
only one developer trying to help everyone, which inevitably leads to them
becoming bitter, twisted and cynical, or just ignoring emails.  Worst case,
they quit and then we have common software unmaintained.

It's also a good way to judge what are the popular features, from how much
work is done on the patch to fix/improve/add that feature and how much
demand there is to integrate it.  It keeps the developers in touch with
reality.

I fix bugs in other people's code, the same as they help me fix mine. 
Everyone wins in this game.

Rubbish!  Coding standards and code reviews are not wasted time.  I assume
from your comment that cdrecord is unaudited then.  Nasty.

You do not.  You use Solaris.  Do not redefine freedom.

Anyway, I'm really out of here now.  Please don't cc me any more.
