Indeed - we do not need another piece of infrastructure. Note that good patch review takes a lot of time and we (unfortunately again) do not have many active patch reviewers. So it happens that patches from people with excellent track history get approved quickly but others are just left behind. Pinging the patches does usually help here, as well as working with maintainers during the patch creation so that the final review is easy. Richard. > Ciao! > Steven >
