Submitted patches

[Federico Tedin]

Hi all,

I remember reading some months ago on this mailing list a user that had
submitted a couple of patches to the bug tracker, but they hadn't been
reviewed after some time. If I remember correctly, the consensus was
that waiting approximately one week after submitting patches was enough
to send a reminder message here. My (very small) patches are:

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=34147
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=34065

I apologize if this isn't the right place/time to send this.
Thanks!

Thanks for working on these; both LGTM FWIW, but I'm relatively new
around here. ;)

Speaking from personal experience rather than authority, it is not
unusual to wait a bit longer than a week for a reply.  This is not only
due to senior maintainers being busy and dealing with higher priority
issues, but also to give other interested parties a chance to comment,
and this window can vary in length.

Thanks for reviewing the patches.

Yeah, something like 2 weeks is a better rule of thumb.

In general, the lack of any response in the first week is a good sign,
especially for short submissions: it mostly means nothing really
incorrect was very obvious at the first reading.

Thanks, Basil and Eli, for the feedback. Next time I'll make sure at
least to weeks.

No problem, I'll send future pings through the bug tracker, then.

Thanks again!

Your patches are on my queue.  Sorry, I've been a bit more busy
lately.

It's okay to send a reminder, but please send them to the same address
where you sent the patches.  Posting here is a kind of emergency
measure, so I'd say only do that if several pings to the bug tracker
get no response at all.

Thanks.
