I just took a look at the xmlsitemap issue queue - it looks like someone already submitted a bug report for the "columhn_exist" typo, and it was fixed this morning - <a href="http://drupal.org/node/348599">http://drupal.org/node/348599</a> - so you won't need to fix that again next time the tarball is generated.<br>
<br>That suggests there's at least some activity there, and no reason you couldn't expect an answer had you posted your query here rather than there. The chances of any one maintainer reading the development list are a lot lower though.<br>

</div>So it's better to submit a bunch of patches simply correcting typos than<br>
trying to get to know where (or who) the problem is?<br>
<br>
Sorry for "spamming" those thousands of drupal-users here. But i don't<br>
get it: Even if i stay on dev-linuxes, with dev-kernels, dev-drivers,<br>
dev-software, ... the times someone submitted code with such simple<br>
typos in the recent years would be under 10.<br>
<br>
On the opposite i have a module where the devs (or maintainers)<br>
constantly check-in - easy to fix - bugged code. If this is common in<br>
the drupal-scene we would have to change something about it...<br>
<br>
But ok. I'll get a cvs-account and commit about 10 patches a week<br>
countaining commas or something like that...<br>
