Subject: What's with the test-patches volunteers?
It is close to two months that I have been the only person running
test-patches, even though several volunteers claimed they would do so.
It has been the main reason I shelled out €20 for a week of internet
access during my spring vacation.
My limited computing resources mean that I have to take every shortcut I
can to get this reasonably done. It is a bottleneck of development. My
shortcuts tend to lead to erroneous data for making decisions, cf
<URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2468#c25>, and
thus can alienate developers and cause unnecessary delays and hickups.
It also means that I can spare no flexibility for dealing with things
like submissions not following the rules
<URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2480>, again
possibly alienating developers instead of getting them more smoothly
into our procedures.

I think Marek was looking at doing this? Paging Marek?
