And again.

All I've _ever_ seen (on this group at least) is the much repeated
phrase "All patches to the docs are welcomed". If you'd like to cast
aspersions on the characters of those doing the work over actually
contributing yourself, you're certainly free to do so, just don't
expect your claims to be taken seriously.

Other people's refusal to do the work that _you_ consider to be
necessary isn't "ego".
