Shit project maintainers aren't an open source problem, they're a people problem. You'll find them in proprietary software too and they'll often get away with even more bullshit because no one can see their awful code.

You get what you paid for. At least with open source you can apply your patch for yourself and use your own version. With proprietary all you can do is submit a bug report and hope it doesn't fly under the radar.
This is also why software that can be extended is so good, people should be able to retrofit their software without having to alter the source code.

The question remains: why are you trying to help those dyke niggers and not exploring the shit out of the security issue you found?

Thanks, was just going to say this.
OP is so retarded that they can't even fork, decentralize, and announce. Shit happens all the time because none are paying libre software. If people paid for libre software like they do proprietary, we would have a team of committers and testers with core developing team. Kaniini was on point:
