Hi Marek,

On the one hand you expect the community to contribute "any new features
or minor improvements & annoyance fixes in 1.x code base". On the other
hand when I tried to do precisely that
(https://github.com/jersey/jersey-1.x/pull/5) I waited 3 weeks for a
reply, and then you closed the pull request without merging the changes
or leaving a comment.

How is the community supposed to work under these conditions?
