Have seen that github PR comment, and honestly don't know how to
put it mildly. This comment is ... quite a stretch. Must have
taken a lot of gymnastics to take what was said (written), and
then come up with _this_ interpretation. :-O
But then the thread had a lot of funny ideas. About developers'
lives, as if their time was free. Or the sigrok project's
resources, as if dozens of developers are just sitting there,
waiting for arbitrary requests to arrive, to service each of them
individually. Just assign more reviewers, yeah. What was the
response when I tried to do just that? Any ideas where those
extra developers are supposed to come from if it's not the
current userbase? Hmm... Or the funny idea that reviews are easy
and committing is hard. And still I cannot see many answers from
other users after a short period of "heat" in the discussion.
The mailing list's status seems to have gone back to normal. Most
people just lurking, waiting for a developer to act. Or only go
to the list to ask for support.
But wait! Several IRC regulars recently acted more, did reviews
and helped a lot with communication on github. Has been a month
or so now, and some five people? It's great to see that activity.
Time well spent on helping the project. Thank you to those who
do this! You know this is very much appreciated.
If you think that this user activity is unrelated to my ranting
for the umptieth time, you need not believe me. Ask them what
caught their attention. They are over at IRC, many seem to not
be in the mailing list.
