• not willing to contribute in any way

    It seems to me (from the article) that that user tried to contribute, but only in a way that was not up to the standards of the project. “in any way” seems too harsh.

    • Well, I guess in any way may be too harsh. I should have said perhaps in any meaningful way :P Complaining about how things are not being done properly (by people who are working for free) is hardly a worthy contribution.

      • Complaining … is hardly a worthy contribution.

        I wasn’t thinking of the complaining as a contribution. (I suppose it could be seen as a negative contribution, an anti-contribution.) The inadequate contribution I meant was

        Žilka … had attached an ebuild for a newer version of Chromium

        James … said … it’s more likely to be last-rited if nobody is interested in handling it in the way these things have to be done (which goes beyond just attaching ebuilds).
