I take you read the ignorant Guru's post at

Please, would you point us out where are Gnome devs getting "people to
participate"? Introducing API breakages at every minor patch level?
Onesidedly taking out consolidated features? Regularly ignoring users'
wishes and theme developers needs? Closing bug reports with WONTFIX because
Gnome's brand value matters more than users' satisfaction?


Cordially,
