#1 - by not dropping mingw bundled .exe installs we would avoid this completely. Even in current state upp does require only very little to be run & extended by community.
Well, the svn commit strategy and patch pushing isn't that easy, but that's understandable, as u++ is owned by core devs, not community, and if such shift ever happens, it will require lot of other stuff to be changed/defined to perform at least as good as the core devs are doing now.
#3 affects upp (the first part, lack of docs&rules)
we don't have #8, but if you would exchange the "license" with "project name", then it's spot on.
(if Mirek will read this, there's a u++ package in debian already, so I think this rules out u++, upp is probably the way to go)
Can't see others seriously affecting u++, so ... well, this is truly impressive and I think Mirek is doing very well considering the amount of times these things take to handle, and he's also developer + has to work on commercial projects too.

'Major' releases still have mingw installs.

Uhm, almost any open-source project limits write access to svn. The only difference here is that we have fine-grained approach (more levels of access) and that the number of core developers is low.
That said, we can even improve. E.g. I am considering that theide related packages are more open, if anybody would request access there. Hars restriction is only needed for packages that are included in apps developed.

cbpporter: the #3 is about docs about contributing to project. I.e. what to download, how to propose the patch, who is responsible for judging, where/when the patch is applied, etc.
The docs about using U++ are now quite ok. And there are still often nice improvements to it, so it's better every day, so maybe it will become excellent one day.
