You are free to download the source here :
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/xserver-xorg-video-nv
and patch it to make it work on debian/sid.
Then, you gone be a part of "They" ;-)
Nice fantasy. I used to be able to read C++ code, but that was long ago.
I think the real problem is that like a few other Linux communities (and
Mac OS X and Windows), Debian doesn't listen to users.
I've made quite the opposite experience; most if not all
Debian-maintainers that I - either as user or developer - have
communicated with are very open and responsive to feedback.
I contacted one of the Nouveau guys, told him it didn't work. He asked
where was the bug report. Well, here's my "bug" report: have Nouveau
support every bit of hardware that NV does.
$ uname -a
