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
