considering the clowns in control at the moment i would not hold your breath.
i was contributing a lot including a few very rare italian games that had large chunks of logic stuck in resin and one that had 100% burried tracks and i metered-out the entire schematic!

for all that i got told to fuckoff (literally) for bringing up the fact that a recent release bug should not have been possible if the guy compiling it had actually tested it.

also, they have started putting roms in with identicle names and ignoring fixes on the grounds:

1: the loader uses the zip checksum not the filename.
2: harddrive space is cheap.

with that attitude i hate to speculate how much longer it can continue without a blatant "branch".
the "core" people also think they own the submitted code outright and can sell it if they wish without asking or aknowleging that they are doing so.

i'm done with them now - i can take any of that crap and continue assisting in any way.
