And your point is?  It takes people to step up to do stuff, and when 
people aren't stepping up to do stuff, things don't get done.

Welcome to the world of open source development with a small project team.

Fair enough.

Being impatient isn't going to make things go faster.  As you astutely 
observed, the "stuff going on in the world" is life.  People have them, 
and set their priorities as they see fit.

They're not going to change them based on your desires, especially if you 
rant and complain to get action.
