You did not reply to my emails asking for status on the input  
decoding part, more than once.

The facts are these: you signed up to work on the input decoding  
feature, knowing full well that it is a critical infrastructure  
piece. You told me that you made some progress but also ran into  
problems. Over the course of a month or so, I asked multiple times  
about the status of this project, both on email and on IRC, and did  
not receive a reply from you most of the time. If you lost interest/ 
time/motivation to do this, you should have said this outright  
instead of stringing us along for weeks while you made miscellaneous  
patches to GD and zip extensions. At the end, all I was asking for  
was the code you had written so far, and even that you were not  
willing to share. So yes, I do consider you flaky and unreliable, and  
that is my (and some of the others' by the way) personal opinion, but  
don't tell me that this does not reflect the facts.
