I don't see why I shouldn't ask if anyone is willing to help.

1: it's open source snd presumably would be committed to the libgit2 project.

2: it's likely to be useful to others

3: it's central, critical code that isn't well suited to beginners. Of course it should be quality code, it's responsible for storing data.

4: it would strongly benefit from the eye of a Postgres expert, which I am not

5: I do not have money to hire developers

6: I write open source code too so I contribute my time to the public




Don't let the haters fool you - they're the same guys who told dropbox that they didn't see the point of their services over sharing usb flash drives.

This is a good idea. Other people could abuse it but this is certainly not abuse, any more than it would be to just file a feature request as an issue on a project. Hope it comes through.


This comparison is lost on me. What do the drop box naysayers have to do with people submitting code requests?


there are just some people who initially hate nearly every good idea


No one said you had to run your for-profit idea on whatever code you come up with. There is something to be said about someone who asks for something but isn't willing to put in the work personally (or only the work they want to do).
