All I know is that Eric and the other hard-working WebKit reviewers and committers have patiently steered my student Maxime and myself into submitting good patches for the Haiku port, which they have promptly committed. All for a platform which has a much, much, much smaller user base than the GDOM bindings probably have.
So it is silly to think there is any discrimination toward GDOM. If you are not following the clearly laid out guidelines for submitting code to the project you should not expect code to be accepted.
Also I think a little patience and respect is due given how hard Eric and everyone else on the project works to review patches and commit code (I think it is safe to say they are INUNDATED just about every day.)
In the same way that you expect people from WebKit to respect contributors, you should respect all the work they have done to make something so nice for the rest of us to benefit from.

+1 I should also say that we have been well received by the reviewers. And if WebKit is as important and as cross-platform'ed as now it's because people accepted to follow the coding style, the review system, and were enough patient to contribute something clean. A big project like WebKit can not be good and useful if everyone does as he pleases. Regards, -- Maxime
