Please would you elaborate on what you mean by how they were 
treated?

Admittedly I am not active here so I may be missing things, but I 
don't see anyone being mistreated here by Walter.

If you mean that contributions are not being looked at - I think 
it goes back to the fact this is volunteer project and everyone 
works on what they want to work on. In this setup to get someone 
else to take an interest in your contribution is hard! That's how 
it is.

The fact that someone looks at your contribution seriously at all 
is itself a miracle.

I don't see a solution - unless you want to fund D so that a 
large team can be hired!
