They're just not publicised too well, or get cherry-picked into minor releases. For example this year alone I removed the 64 KiB row and cell limit when importing CSV into Base, cleaned up tests, fixed OpenSSL usage in the WebDAV content provider, added support for MS Office 2010+ OOXML "Agile encryption", implemented copying and pasting of SVG images from the clipboard, and fixed several bugs including some crashes. Others have been fixing important issues too, including security bugs. Oh and we value our committers, and they have the right to commit anything, including whitespace and comments. What are you contributing here Brian? Regards Damjan
