I've got your point and i know who is workings the most :)
someone told me about digikam and i hope that i will tell it to another
students, but i can't go faster.
Also i'm sitting on bleeding-edge kde and it's crashing regularly so i can
tell it's too far from gnome, but it has tons of features.

tedious for me), but i lack experience.
Commiting can be done in both branches to avoid backporting them. Extra
seconds for someone(to write an extra git command) can save someone from
lots of work.

Also having few things settled ok from very beginning can make the project
grow faster.
