While you are discussing this, people are asking for months the Java patch to be incorporated into the xmonad:

Incidentally, I had to patch the code myself, despite my efforts to contact Adam to fix things. In your opinion, why this patch hasn't been incorporated yet? Mine is that is over complicated to do so, and a system LIKE Github (can be also Bitbucket or whatever) lowers the contribution bar at the point whoever can simply code, patch and pull-request.
I agree with this statement. It's important that it's easy to contribute to the project. The time it takes from a patch to be written, to it being reviewed and tested by others has to be short. Also, let's bring in some of the politeness from the Haskell-Cafe mailing list ;-) -- Johan Brinch
