Well, the problem of this project (as well as AVRDUDE) is that I'm 
almost alone as active developer.  In avr-libc, there's still 
Pitchumani (of Atmel India), but most others here can be considered 
casual contributors at best.

Given that, and that I've got a day job, a family, as well as other 
hobbies (I'm not only a developer, but would also like to use that 
stuff for my own hobby work), I have a tendency to dedicate some of 
my sparetime to these projects rather in larger "chunks", often 
eventually then be followed up by a new release.  That's also where 
I do most of the work on bug and patch trackers.

Of course, I absolutely wouldn't mind having more developers being 
active here, but as long as it's a one-man show (or two-man, in caes 
of Pitchumani), I somehow have to slice up the time I can spend in 
these projects.  Otherwise, I'd quickly be burned out completely.

Thus, on simple (and obvious) bugs, I'm just about to fix them in one 
of those time slots.  I'm trying to be more responsive for things that 
really need to be discussed though, or if questions arise.

Sorry for this, but it's the current state.  This is not Linux, it's 
not FreeBSD (all with a large number of active developers), it's not 
KiCAD (which I appreciate very much myself, btw.).
