How about *you* run the next one, Tom?

I think the limited amount of time I can put into a commitfest is
better spent on reviewing patches than on managing the process.

IIRC Tom was pretty much the only person doing patch review for
probably 5 years during 2003-2008, maybe others. AFAICS he was
managing that process. Thank you, Tom.

I've never seen him moan loudly about this, so I'm surprised to hear
such things from people that have done much less.

Any solution to our current problems will come from working together,
not by fighting.

We just need to do more reviews. Realising this, I have begun to do
more. I encourage others to do this also.


Simon,

Well said but again, I think a lot of people are hand waving about a simple problem (within the current structure) and that problem is just one of submission.

Those doing the patch review/writing need to submit to the authority of the CFM or CFC (commit fest comittee). That happens and a lot of the angst around this process goes away.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
