The Nabble thing issue is interesting.
I don't use it myself but I assumed it is important interface for many people
in the Community. So, I thought it would be good to help with it,
but it looks Nabble has not a high priority and perhaps it's too time consuming,
thus disturbing for other tasks. Now I'm not sure if it is worth the effort.

Perhaps I should propose a survey in Discuss mailing list:
Is Nabble used at all?
Anyone interested in helping to maintain it?
etc.
