gentoo-dev@, the land of super threads. It's because of this mailing list that I learned that gmail breaks threads at 100 messages. I certainly haven't had trouble categorizing review threads appropriately. Can someone point me (privately if you like) to a review they found abrasive? I think I've read all the review threads, and nothing stood out to me (but that was before I was specifically looking for such things). > Obviously, the goal of the project, which is an admirable one, is to > provide reviews of commits and improve the quality of submissions both > current and future.

I find the suggestion to use gentoo-commits@ for review illogical if the quantity of mail received is a problem. :) > Additionally, as mentioned by many others in this thread on all sides > of the issue, the goal is to provide feedback and improve both > users(whether they be end users or developers) and their submissions. > I'd just like to state that those providing feedback should be mindful > that how they provide that feedback is sometimes as important as the > feedback itself.
