For what it's worth, I didn't read the response that way at all.  What
I _did_ read is that, if you're a user of gnucash, and you're unable
to contribute code, then your chances of getting exactly what you want
when you want it are lower.  By the same token, if you're unable to
contribute code, you're more likely to get a positive reaction with a
well-worked-out specification -- and, for that matter, an offer to
sponsor the feature -- than if you come with a vague suggestion or a
complaint that something doesn't work the way you want. 

This is exactly the same condition as in any free software project,
with the additional hurdle tht the developer community is smaller
than, say, the Linux kernel hackers.

Best,

A
