Sounds good to me - I've counted at least three or four threads on the mailing lists wishing for the ufuncized linear algebra this would allow since it was put forward. (Of course, these won't appear until someone implements them - perhaps a start would be for someone to write a tutorial on using the new generalized ufunc code...) > It is unfortunate that we have so many patches waiting for review > (SciPy suffers worst, I'm afraid); clearly there are too few hours in > a day.

The problem may perhaps be that not many people feel they are in a position to actually do the reviews, so that everyone is waiting on an imagined few "real" developers to place the Official Stamp of Approval. Perhaps an informal rule of thumb for acceptance of patches? How about: posted to list, reviewed by someone not the author who's had at least one patch accepted before, and no objections on the list? Anything that receives objections can fall through to the usual decision by discussion on the mailing list, this is just intended for those patches that everyone just kind of shrugs and says "looks all right to me".
