What I meant were external contributions from people outside of the core
team. And I have obviously missed (at least) one such contribution. I'm
sorry for this. My fault. And I get your point and I apologize for this
confusion.
I just want to point out I haven't failed to notice that all of my other
points got ignored. But I'm afraid that it does not make much difference
anyway. I do not think I can help here. And I do not think I can improve
this project in any way. I'm really sorry for this. And I sincerely
apologize for all this uproar that I have caused in the mailing list.
But I consider the information that I have got from this discussion to
be very important. And I think that it may be also important for other
potential contributors and users of OpenLDAP.
Thank you all for your time.
