This list is more for open discussion, so things like requests for
private review, advertising for coders/builders, et cetera are less
welcome and thus (thankfully) not often seen.

I might, given time. At the moment what little spare time I get is
spent coding on my projects, so I have little time to spend
reviewing others' works. Once I get over this recent recode hump
that may change for me.

I'm a proponent of public code release, but I can only speak for
myself obviously. Of course we can assume the same goes for the core
Circle developers and anyone who maintains or even so much as
uploads a patch/snippet to the contrib repository. Anyone who wants
to review my original or modified third-party patches is welcome to
do so, whether they give me useful feedback or just look for
security holes to secretly exploit. That's their right.

Code review is always a good thing in my opinion, private or
public. It all comes down to having enough time on our (collective)
hands to devote to helping others, but fixing bugs is fixing bugs.
