Regarding the pull requests and discussions: I have checked the devel mailing list for several months and I haven't see any discussion regarding a contribution.
Really? You must not have looked very hard then.
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/201709/msg00000.html covers some 22 contributions.
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/201709/msg00003.html discussions some contributions related to man page fixes.
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/201706/msg00004.html covers work I did to make TLS command line options for the ldap* tools
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/201706/msg00006.html is part of an ongoing discussion of allowing ldap clients to use a specific local address
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/201706/msg00000.html is a discussion about adding ldap_init_fd contribution from samba
etc.
What I see as a major problem is that there is no will. OpenLDAP project clearly needs major improvement. But there are almost no contributors to improve the project.
As demonstrated by the above you clearly are incorrect. I would generally suggest you withhold comment on the project until you have some clue what you're talking about.

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.
