Yep, I don't want to throw stones at anyone in particular, and particularly not at first-time patch submitters, but there are always more people writing patches than volunteering to review them. This is partially offset by the fact that it usually takes less time to review a patch than it does to write one - however, I know that I have had a difficult time managing this CommitFest, reviewing 2 patches, and keeping on top of the changes requested for the 10 patches I submitted. As a result, one or more of my patches may fall out of this CommitFest, whereas if I had not volunteered to manage to CommitFest, or had not reviewed any patches myself, it would have been much easier. I'm not bent out of shape about it, but it would definitely be nice if everyone could volunteer to take a turn reviewing, especially regular contributors. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
