The gcc project currently has a problem: when people who are not
regular gcc developers send in a patch, those patches often get
dropped. They get dropped because they do not get reviewed, and they
get dropped because after review they do not get committed. This
discourages new developers and it means that the gcc project does not
move as fast as it could.
So perhaps the thing to do is somehow separate patches from regular
contributors and irregular contributors. A relatively easy way to do
this would be for a regular contributor to include a keyword in their
message to gcc-patches to mark the thread as not needing 3rd party
tracking/pings.
Just thinking out loud,
