There is no single maintainer of fvwm. It is maintained by fvwm-workers. Thomas has been putting a lot of time and effort into releasing 2.6, when no other fvwm-worker really has had the time to do so. There are several reasons as of why certain patches aren't accepted. Some of the patches affect areas of fvwm which in the long term goal should be replaced by modules. Others are unclean, and no one has been willing to clean up the code and write documentation for the patches. > so a new maintainer should listen more to this i hope And what makes you think that another fvwm-worker will have more time now, when Thomas have been mostly alone doing the all hard work for quite some time. Just because he no longer have the time either, it doesn't mean that other fvwm-workers will have more time. /Viktor
