> I believe helping contributors understand the reasons will make them more
patient and empathetic. In my case, I just don't know the reason. (again not
putting pressure or blaming anybody, just trying to make things work better
here).
I believe everything I wrote was precisely about that. Explaining why it
happens and why you should be patient.
It is also explained very shortly in the helpful list of suggestions when
you submitted this PR (just scroll up a few pages and you will see this)
> Be patient and persistent. It might take some time to get a review or get
the final approval from Committers.
It's also explained in more detail in the CONTRIBUTING documentation (also
linked in the helpful "first commit" message above.
But also if you need more explanation I recommend you to watch my talk
https://airflowsummit.org/sessions/2022/hey-maintainer-exercise-your-empathy/
from Airflow Summit where I explain how important is empathy in those relations.
I encourage you to go through those and read them. We go to a great lenght
(including writing documentation, giving talks and even responding to messages
like this explaining that empathy is needed and why) so I hope the message is
passed. If you have other ways how we can do it, I am all ears. Any concrete
suggestions how we can inform people like you more that this is how it works,
are welcome.
No hard feeling and don't take it personal. I just wanted to make you aware
that it might look very much like trying to pressure people here by saying "my
customers are blocked, this is needed ASAP". They are not blocked (as I
explained) and ASAP is not a word that you use in open-source. It might work in
a customer world but here, coopeation, empathy goes much longer way than ASAP
(and related) words.
