Hi Keith, fist let me state that I am not affiliated with the tmux project, but I want to say a word or two on upstream work.

It is stated that you can make pull requests on the mirror and splitting projects between sites does not makes things easier. This handling is usually overhead. > http://sourceforge.net/p/tmux/tickets/177/ : > > Comments like "magic ESP hat" are not welcoming. The bug report was really bad. Which platform? Which version? Essentially he wasted time from the upstream maintainer as he replicated it. If he would have stated „I have 1.8“ he would probably got an immediate answer „use 1.9 because it is broken“. Lots of these 5 minute things sum up and you end up getting nothing done. A bad error report is an insult too. > http://sourceforge.net/p/tmux/tickets/131/ : > > "I really don't think this is necessary" - without explanation why. You need someone who gates requests or you get bloatware. If the one who raised the bug really thinks it is needed then he can pick up the discussion again and state usecases. Often you get feature requests of people who think it „is nice“ to have it, but without a usecase. I hope my comments help you understand that upstream often has its reasons.
