I cannot agree with you more.
If they are going to control freak a GPL PROJECT like this, then they at least better be attentive to it.
If something is submitted, and it works, then it needs to get into the tree, NOW.
If they sit on it, then frankly, eqemu needs a fork. It's GPL, thus fair game for this.
The whole point of the GPL is to be able to share code changes freely and easily. If a certain set of people are making it frustrating and difficult to do so, then someone else who will get these fixes in becomes necessary.
While we're on the subject, I'd like to know who thought it was appropriate to originally license the LS code as GPL, then make it unavailable to anyone. Sorry, but you can't do that. And this isn't a copyright issue. You released it under a free license. You don't get to change your mind after the fact.
