From: Quentin Schulz <[email protected]> We are "a bit" struggling with reviewing things and it's most of the time maintainers or long time contributors reviewing patches on the mailing list.
Hint that reviewing is also contributing to the project and that even if you don't feel you're an expert, your review is still welcome and can help us catch bugs before they are merged.

Please don't send patches as attachments, and ensure corporate mail systems don't reformat patches, append disclaimers or other unnecessary notes. The b4 tool automates a number of components mentioned above. +Code is not the only thing you can contribute to the project. As most +open-source projects, the U-Boot project suffers from a lack of reviewers. +Consider spending some time reading patches on `the mailing list archive +<https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/>`_ and providing feedback to +contributors when something could be improved or if you have questions. Contrary +to what's most often believed, you do not need to be an expert to review patches +and the project will benefit from people with different skillsets and experience +looking at the same patches and each catch different bugs. + Patch Series ------------ -- 2.55.0
