Who do you mean with whiners? People who report bugs? Those people save you work, because instead of having to run time-consuming tests to find the problems, you just rake the problem reports in from these people. > We know you'll never write diffs, and it is up to you to prove us I fixed some bugs in BRL-CAD (a 30 year old oldschool C-only 3D modelling system from the US Army) because BRL-CAD people are friendly and helpful. Instead of "you suck", they tell you "this XX you wrote cannot work because of YY". I asked here for janitor list, got a reply that it doesn't exist. I looked into the PR database into documentation section but there were 0 hits. I looked into other sections but that seemed to be complicated, I don't want to invest significant time into learning OpenBSD internals at the moment. CL< > wrong.
