    Well as far as i can see you’ve only had a problem with evince, which is retired btw. Gnome isn’t a giant blob, each maintainer handles their project in their own way.

      I was curious not knowing that evince is getting retired and looked into this It seems there was a problem even for established contributors which is why it was eventually forked. This Blogpost goes into detail.

      It seems the main maintainer had very little time for the project. I don’t know if that was the case 4 years ago but if it was it would explain some things.

      Yes which is why I never said the whole of gnome is like that but what my experience was and why I suggested investigating if the claim has merit.
