PS1:
I'm more interested in fixing bugs than arguing. […]
From an outside perspective without having skin in the game of this specific issue: Forking is not always bad. If there are two opposing trains of thought that can not be unified properly, or if there is a lack in will to make that happen, allowing everybody to move on and make their own version better for themselves and their customer base can even help to overcome differences in the long run (see egcs vs gcc a long time ago).
Nico, you are unhappy with about everybody trying to work with you here, and you are offering to fork the project fairly frequently. It is unhealthy for you and everybody else involved in this project to keep the threat of breakup over everybody's head. I would encourage you to think about whether that is what you want and if so, I will gladly help you with resources (hosting, etc) to get your fork started and off the ground. I will also gladly pay for a domain for you for the first couple of years.
We have all started out as friends in this project, and it is good to remember that in the end we share 95% of the same goals, even if we like to fight to the last breath over the remaining 5%. Let's not use those 5% disagreement as a reason to create an environment in which none of us wants to be. It's not worth anybody's life time.
I am open to suggestions but this way of treating each other needs to stop.
