I cannot see it -- I am really happy with your efforts, Steve.
This is not anyone's day job -- it is classic 'ship when it is
right, not to a schedule' Open Source development. Stop
beating yourself up to no end.
Let's be frank here -- getting matters to this point has been
a tremendous accomplishment -- I _greatly_ appreciate Steve's
effort and interface in getting the code to a GPL status. And
the fixup work afterward.
A year ago, I was watching and hoping that the code would
indeed GPL -- that Steve's persistence got it to that state is
a major accomplishment.
Once the code is free (as it is now), any one of us can set up
a fork, a CVS, a bonsai, or whatever, and maintain and
advocate a private tree to add features; or submit diff's ;
or set up a non-primary testing tree.
Seeing patches to the list or notice of private trees with
proposed patches for testing would far outweigh yak-yak-ing to
the mailing list, in my opinion.
