Yeah, nothing like putting people who want to help into their rightful place! Must feel pretty good. I may not be a high-profile "rockstar", but at least I was making an honest offer. But you're right, of course, I should have known I was making an ass out of myself.

? I wasn't putting anyone in their place, I was just saying that the natural progression in such situations is to first make contributions and 'earn' ones place as a maintainer meritocrally (if that's a word).
