Sure, and who do you mean by "people"? Presumably Stefan, Yidong, et al. I don't think that having Stefan merge Eli's changes is efficient use of anybody's time. Use of bundles might make contribution by occasional contributors more efficient, but I don't think it addresses the problem that some core developers are bottlenecking on bzr/Savannah. > To reiterate the main benefit though: accepting "bzr send" bundles > means that people on even the slowest connections can contribute > easily and efficiently. I've used these satisfactorily over slow > GPRS connections. AFAIK Stefan et al are already as willing to accept merge directives as any other form of patch. It wouldn't hurt to advertise that option, of course. But I really don't think it's a solution to the current bottleneck.
