libftdi already has 62 contributors (see AUTHORS),
so I would say it's a pretty active project :)
The problem with github's ticket system and other
"convenience" features is the vendor lock-in. The easiest way
to send patches is to create them with "git format-patch" and friends.
That way the code changes can be reviewed on the mailinglist,
probably even offline once downloaded. The linux kernel is
developed this way, so it scales pretty good.
Unfortunately I can't do much work this week
since I have to stay in bed :( Sorry 'bout that.
Cheers,
Thomas
