Wez,

Tony does a difficult job of sifting through hundreds and hundreds of  
bug reports every week. He fixes a lot of stuff himself and assigns  
the ones he cannot to the extension maintainers. That's how it works.  
I understand that it is a very demanding and at times very  
frustrating work since there are tons and tons of bogus reports and  
some really nasty people reporting them.

I for one appreciate that people don't have time for PHP and that is  
fair enough. But I also have a great admiration for people who devote  
their time for keeping an eye and resolving all those bug reports.
