I'm not sure I understand what you are saying I see plenty of comments on your ticket.
http://www.apache.org/dev/committers.html#committer-responsibilities Applying patches In order to grow and maintain healthy communities, committers need to discuss, review and apply patches submitted by volunteers. The Committers are also responsible for the quality and IP clearance of the code that goes into ASF repositories. Helping users Committers should monitor both the dev and user lists for the projects that they work on and (collectively) provide prompt and useful responses to questions from users. Monitoring commits and issues Committers should review commit email messages for their projects and point out anything that looks funny or that may bring in IP issues. Monitoring Bugzilla / Jira for bugs or enhancement requests is also a responsibility of Committers. Generally we (committers & pmc) attempt to wade though the open jira issues and review and commit open issues. Not all of us are full time, and not all of us specialize across the entire code base, so the length of time a patch can stay out there is variable. My process is this: Review jira for things marked "PATCH AVAILABLE" If I understand the scope of the issue I review it and leave comments. If ready I wait for the test and then commit. I personally try to maintain a balance of 75% writing code 25% review but lately I am about 80% review 20% code. I would like us to move to a road map and feature based releases with smaller tuck-in issues. At the moment everything that flows into our jira "looks the same" to me as we have people going into several different directions, it makes it fairly hard to order the incoming issues in priority.
