As a contributor I highly value the freedom to decide what I work on, 
this freedom has great value to me.

I like the bug voting system and help use it to decide the priority of 
improvements I want to work on. If the Quality Managers are 
interested in affecting my prioritization of wishes I'm interested in 
working on then they can contact me for my commercial KDE development 
rates.

I like the idea of automatically closing wishes with insufficient 
votes. I think less than 20 votes checked everyday is much too harsh, 
I think that rule would cause almost all new wishes to be closed. I'd 
prefer a gentler pruning of unpopular wishes.

These are just my personal feelings, thanks for listening,
Don.
