I am on that with you. But the group preferably wanted to focus on contributors as we're looking for feedback from those who do the most.
Leap is not exactly contributor's heaven given the herritage from SUSE, and the *contribution model to these packages . It has it's audience and is currently most downloaded distro, so we its users most likely want direct replacement. Which is why is fair to ask potential contributors first.
Once upon a time: * alpha stage begins, 6 month mad scramble to update packages, test, push, test test some more in beta * big integration effort because everything else was new too * long enjoyment (12-18month ish) for what you had painstakingly built in the prior 6 * (big) "fire and forget" Nowadays: * le Tumbleweed mechanism * very small time scale to update one package/ small time to update a package set (KDE-Plasma or something) test, push, test * little integration effort, because everything else is still almost the same * short enjoyment for what you had built in a jiffy * (small) "fire and forget" picture, but repeated a lot of times If Leap X.0 *wasn't* already mostly "just a snapshot of TW, with some updates coming later", I would be questioning what year it is. It also means that you need to include TW contributions when making a count for Leap, since most if not all of the TW work has landed in Leap X.0. For Leap X.1 to X.n, a lack of contributions is the norm. It's *supposed* to get only few updates.
