Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Release (0.99.4) next week

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thank you for filing the bug report.

One has to consider that this is mostely a volunteer job, very few people
are actually paid to work on Wireshark. Some of us are active keeping the
infrastructure intact so 'the community' can work on the details of the
program.
So what gets done when is not related to the fact that it's Open Source,
it's related to the volunteer community effort going into this thing.

Thanx,
Jaap
