Offtopic, but the obvious first step would be to improve the rate of reviewed patches in general. While peer reviews are great, **in some projects** teams miss manpower already to have reviews at all, without any peer. (And if you are a first-time contributor and you never receive feedback on your first patch you give up and won't know where to escalate. That's where GNOME's contributor base remains small.) https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=FOO provides a link at the right to the list of unreviewed patches for the project FOO. Two examples: * gtk+: 637 unreviewed patches; 480 of them older than 12 months * gnome-shell: 125 unreviewed; 61 of them older than 6 months I wonder if anybody has ideas how (and time) to clean up, e.g. by setting "needs-rework" or simply rejecting unwanted fixes. Or agreeing in a team to have maximum XX unreviewed patches by 3.6.0 or so. https://mail.gnome.org/archives/patchsquad-list/ was one idea but never took off and has been dead as hell for years. andre -- mailto:ak...@gmx.net | failed http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
