Call for help: Vala support in Automake

[Ralf Wildenhues]

Here's the deal: At least two patch sets have been posted to Automake
mailing lists during the last year in order to improve Vala support in
Automake.  We cannot take either because the authors couldn't complete
copyright assignments for reasons not further relevant to this message.

So here's a call for help: if there is something broken with Vala
support in Automake, you can contribute by writing bug reports rather
than by sending patches.  Describe in your own words how things are
supposed to work, or show your projects; given precise enough semantics,
it is fairly straight-forward to fix the implementation.

But we cannot do anything with nontrivial patches that are not assigned
to the FSF, and in order to stay clean of potential problems I don't
look at the patch posts at all.  So *please* don't post them unless
you're also willing to go all the way.

Thanks,
Ralf
