Do you write patches, or just say "This is terrible. Aorta do summing about it."? [1] If you want something done, the best way is to do it. Simply telling someone else what to do is not "participation" which should be "encourage[d]", but is indeed likely to be whining. Oh, and when you talk about it like this, you make everyone absolutely sure that it really IS just whining.
