FYI committing a patch takes a lot longer than 15 seconds - especially on an unfamiliar project. committing a patch means that you're taking personal responsibility. this means being able and willing to defend the design of that patch. in general, though, i'd agree that the process by which patches are reviewed isn't as smooth as it might be. any ideas about how we could improve it? - robert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
