Probably a part of the issue is simply a lack of time on the part of the developers... there's only 24::hour in a day, after all.
Yes, absolutely. Being a student myself I understand that very well! I barely have time to do the work I'm supposed to be doing, let alone extra stuff. However that's precisely why it's worth having some infrastructure tools like patch and bug trackers, such as they provide at sourceforge. Also, using better version control tools than CVS can really help speed up merging. Having unit tests can speed up integration of external code as well because you can quickly and easily verify that changes won't break existing features. Steve
