Comment (by madboymont):

 If you think that mi previous post seems aggressive, well, let's have a
 look at the global situation. Users are requesting essential features
 needed for a nowadays IM client, that clearly have a major impact in the
 architecture. Developers put the excuse that they want to keep the
 architecture stable in order not to do this work, but the funny thing
 comes when they put that feature request in a category named "Patches
 Welcome". This is an open source project, right, you tell me that I have
 no right to say you what to do with your free time, you're right. In this
 case the thing could be allowing new developers join the team, but some of
 the required skills you ask I look at them as excessive. I think that
 asking for someone with 5 years of C development experience and
 undocumented network protocols is very restrictive, and gives the idea
 that you don't want new people in your team. And as Yerch said: "That, my
 friends, is a problem".
