I think we should not leave patches without feedback longer than one week - even 3 days, to be honest. It is the surest way to kill enthusiasm. To move forward with Guix and to recognise the effort new submitters put in I would like to ask *all* reviewers to pick an outstanding patch on a regular basis. If reviewers split the work it should be doable. Would it be an idea to send out weekly E-mails with patches that had no attention to a select list of reviewers? Or maybe to the ML as a whole? Basically it would read: Summary Status 31 Outstanding 18 Resolved Severity 49 Normal bugs Classification 22 Patch Available 9 Unclassified Patches older than 1 week: gnu: mumble: Build with 'murmur' server component. Modified 13 days ago; gnu: Add blists. Modified 13 days ago; gnu: Add lush2. Modified 13 days ago; etc. Pj.
