[haiku-development] Patch reviews - help needed

Hi guys,

all in all there is just way too little patch review going on. We get many 
patches via Trac and sometimes it feels like I am pretty much the only one 
trying to get those landed. I know, not true, sometimes other people review 
and commit as well... but it would be very nice if more regular 
contributors would review patches and we would share the load better. After 
all, the goal here is to give people SVN access eventually and gain new 
contributors. We should be very happy to receive patches!

Now, I realize the problem may be that subscribing to the general Trac 
notification list could be the issue here. It's just too much, I've 
considered unsubscribing from Trac notifications as well. Sometimes I spend 
two hours or more each morning just to stay on top of all the Haiku related 
emails, the bulk of them being Trac emails, and those are just the mails 
from when I was sleeping. Even worse, I get every notification twice for 
tickets that I have commented on, or for tickets that I have been assigned 
to. Maybe for those reasons, most developers have unsubscribed from the 
Trac list? Who is still subscribed? It would be a good explanation why 
patches go unnoticed. Maybe the best solution would be to forward patch 
notifications to a separate list? That way, one could sign up for those, 
but not for all Trac notifications in general.

Best regards,
-Stephan
