Run tests > against patches? The main issue here is that the committer community around Ivy and IvyDE is not indeed healthy. The way to fix this is to try to bring more people involved and make them become committers, so there is "always" people with some free time and passion to fix and improve the code from the users requests. We've tried few times but it didn't worked well. That's maybe why we are less responsive to patch submissions. But I think we should try to continue. I remember having a look at the issues which has submitted patches. Most of the time the issue was not trivial and required a good understanding of Ivy internal code, which I too many time have not. If there are unit tests included into the patch, this would be a huge help. And if we find your patches are good and you've been around for some time, you'll be a good candidate to help us maintain Ivy by becoming a committer.
