#GNOME devs: should i (continue to) contribute patches that keep your apps working in other DEs, or should i stop? one role of an umbrella organization is to encourage consistency across sub-projects and i’m getting conflicting signals now that leave me hesitant/unsure.
in the past i’ve upstreamed changes to e.g. nautilus (gnome files) to keep it working for non gnome-shell users. those fixes were well-received and the maintainers were super inviting in a way that suggested they’d appreciate future changes in the same line.
but that gnome-control-center explicitly does not start outside gnome-shell is a strong hint that they don’t want patches that improve things for non gnome-shell users, and so i shouldn’t invest in upstreaming fixes like that anymore. how broadly do i interpret this?
