sorry, you miss the point. it is written there hence people take it for real. it is no open wiki, hence only openwrt folks can change it for good. we actually ask for a proper instruction. if the page were saying: add a ticket and probably wait for ages, at least the people would know what to expect. > > As far as the topic of being a developer and getting commit access > goes, it's pretty straight forward; don't ask for commit access, you > don't need it to suggest a patch.
