+1 (and some!...). Yes, it is embarrassing. There are reasons why some of
those patches didn't make it to the official viewer but Snowglobe seems to
be a good vector for those (experimental viewer, experimented residents and
builders). Snowglobe didn't start historically with "let's take all
community contributed patches" mission as you may recall but, right now,
that mission might well be a good thing to change. I'm wondering what other
folks on this list, especially committers, do think about such a change in
direction/mission. Your comment welcome!

Note that it's often more than just a matter of committing patches: there's
work to adapt those patches to Snowglobe (some are quite ancient) and give
them some serious code review. Quite a bit of work so I do hope that people
on that list interested by this motion will show up and help.

Cheers,
- Merov
