I don't work very well with general statements. It seems by your comment one way to handle this would be to increase the resources, so that the reviewer of the day is not so hard pressed to do things quickly and get back to work/family. > It may be simply a difference in scale, although I understand your points > about "focused" changes which break a wider story.

If it's relaxing the amount of stuff to be changed in order to require a contribution agreement, I don't see a problem, the current practice has been set basically following Locationtech advice, I don't think anyone around here wanted to make it so strict. If it's not requiring tests, then you have my unconditional -1, too many people making too many chances unaware of each other, if there are no tests you might as well not contribute, the change is going to be broken soon anyways. Again, you're talking too much in generic terms for me, could you propose something more specific? Cheers Andrea -- == GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!
