Yes, I know, but it's clear from his response that he didn't read the original developer's comments in the original bug (now marked duplicate). Nonetheless, I have attempted to contact said developer along with the original patch author, who is also a developer. I commented in the patch as well as sent an email to both of them. It's been well over a week and neither one of them have gotten back to me. There has been a working patch for this bug for five years. I'd really like to see this bug closed, but to do so will require opening a dialog with the GNOME panel maintainers to get feedback on the patch. If something is wrong with the patch then they will need to communicate what that is so that I, or another developer, can update the patch to their satisfaction. People are willing to do the work to fix this bug, but our hands are tied if we can't get maintainers to talk to us. My assumption is that there must be some patch review process that was not followed. I know that some projects have specific processes in place for requesting a patch review and I did not know if the GNOME project is one of those. I have scoured the GNOME web site for documentation on filing and managing bugs but I haven't not found anything relevant. That is why I posted my original question this list. At this point I need a GNOME developer to step up and assist me. I don't know what steps I need to take next to drive this bug to closure and I need guidance and mentoring. I know that there is a GNOME developer out there who has the knowledge and willingness to help me if only I can find them. I need someone to point me in the right direction and tell me what I need to do next. I am currently lost. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
