60 Thanks for the links. I understand games have been the subject of a
61 lot of 'discussion' on the ML over the past few years. What do you
62 believe to be some of the main blockers to getting more dev
63 participation? From what I gather, a decent portion of us play games
64 on our systems, so it seems reasonable to get more maintainership
65 spread out. There's a lot of user interest too, as Ian pointed out.
