yes, I am sorry, I spend my spare time on JDS/Gnome for now (nearly completed task).

My current experience is not very good in pushing larger things there, ext2fs did not find any reviewer for a year, WPA enterprise implementation with WiFi improvements and clean ups are also waiting. In case of FUSE I am not even trying because at least one highly respected RTI advocate was strong opponent of this FUSE implementation even during his SUN carreer.
