Ensuring that everything got reviewed is the responsibility of the maintainer. But it's the *interest* of the contributor, so the contributor should pay attention to the state of the contribution. If a contribution goes unreviewed after a while, ping the reviewers. If it still doesn't get reviewed, ping the maintainer (write "maintainer ping", for example). Sometimes the maintainer will not notice that it's the same contribution that no one else reviewed. It's also the maintainer's responsibility to submit reviewed contributions into the Tizen repositories. If a contribution is reviewed but unstaged, again ping the maintainer. In this case, the maintainer may give a reason for delaying, like "trying to get Milestone Bar's high-priority changes in". If pinging doesn't result in action, raise it to the mailing list and Cc me in particular. Community Management is here to help keep track of these things and I try to read every email to tizen-dev but I can definitely not follow every Gerrit submission. MIA maintainers will be contacted to see what's going on. Hopefully, the interruption is temporary and can be resolved soon. But permanent MIA maintainers will be removed and the position declared vacant. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
