- marquis 14y agoI expect that if a significant portion of work was done to an existing fork, or a significant bug found, it would be celebrated and immediately pushed back to the community.

- bryanlarsen 14y agoThis makes it easier for people to clean up their code before letting the world see it. I wouldn't be surprised if it made some people more willing to contribute.
