>Take this as an opportunity to send me a six figure yearly contract or fork the project and have someone else work on it.

Seriously, he should just inform people to send him feature requests and in return he'll send an quote estimation; no need to be petulant.

Yes! That's a good idea, feature and customization based Pricing. Just imagine Linus would be such a winy Rumpelstiltskin...well he is, but not a winy one ;)

BTW: Whats with the 211 others that help him?

The person who does the work gets paid. Each feature request could have a optional bounty against it.

If they're doing work for their own enjoyment, why should they complain?
