It usually works the other way around (no comments by default means
no interests), but sadly, a larger problem with this area is that
there currently is nobody who is actively working on maintaining the
'git-gui' project, which is a separate project that our tree merely
pulls from time to time.  So we need to find a volunteer to run that
project, send the patch in that direction and get it merged, and
then finally we can pull from them X-<.
