I haven't seen anybody in the group expect any one person to do everything
for them. That kind of flies in the face of the whole concept of being an
Apache project. I think that your point, while it has some validity,
probably didn't need to be verbalized until there was a problem. Otherwise
it comes across as an insinuation that the group at large is just a bunch
of parasites looking to leach off your hard work. Kind of leaves a bad
taste in one's mouth that might cause folks to dismiss your suggestion,
whether it has technical merit or not ( and I believe it very well may ).
