When people have time for it, they can trivially check what PRs are still open that they are involved in. > If yes, how do you propose to proceed, so that a > no-reminders-are-necessary-state is reached? Keep things as is? Reminders already are not necessary. If you want more attention given to the bugs you are involved in, you can hire people to do that, or file reports for more interesting bugs, or make your bug reports easier to work with. Since GCC has one major release every year, handling less urgent bugs can take up to a year as well. > I read in the answer of Segher, that the purpose of reminding is not only to > ping, but also to filter the ones who are > pernetrant and sending manually reminders is the means to verify, that the > persons really want to make progress.
