I'm not sure I agree that would be another rehash. A comment that draws from the data in the original blog post to make the case that Gnome is driving away new contributors seems like it would be interesting and on-topic, and could lead to a discussion about ways to attract and retain open source contributors. As it is, most of the points made in this thread could have been made in any prior thread with "Gnome" in the title. And they will probably be made again in subsequent Gnome threads, like some kind of Sisyphusian performance art.
