Also, if you think that just having something out there that people can randomly drive-by and fix is going to work, you must be either really clueless or just new to open source.
In Open Source people scratch personal itches. That itch may as well be that CentOS 5.6 is being blocked by a few issues, holding back also a set of security updates.
Do you really think nobody wants to become the hero of the day by fixing those blocking issues, speeding up a release ?
But your prime example of people not interesting to contribute, is that there was low feedback of your testing framework proposal (of which no information is in the Wiki). Well, ever thought that this particular item was not itching anyone ? Because maybe the bigger picture is missing ?
