That does sound useful, although I haven't really noticed a huge surge
of folks who *use* GUI (instead of *writing* them!) contributing to
emacs-devel (except Drew Adams, of course ;-).
Contributions of those people run mostly in the line of complaints all
over the internet and ill-conceived suggestions.
In short, those are the people that count, in votes, in circulation, in
reputation, in power.
