I apologize for making it look like i blamed you for the situation. This was not my intention; it's not your fault that issue 3239 was reviewed by one person only. You're not responsible for reviewing everything, and i certainly don't demand that you review something when you're on vacation (issue 3239 was up for review before your vacation, but this still doesn't mean that you have any duty to review it). I was indeed quite surprised to see you being so active during last week, to the point that i wasn't sure if i remembered the date of your vacation correctly. I also believe that you deserved your vacation, and i'm sorry that you didn't have more vacations during this year. My only intention in writing the previous message was to point out that "doing things right" is hard and that even thoroughly described patches don't get much reviews, which is discouraging (that's only stating a fact, i'm not blaming anyone for this). Janek PS i'm not sure what you mean by "reviewing thoroughly". I never expect anyone to do more than read commit messages and Rietveld diffs once; that's why i spend so much time on polishing commit messages. If anything is unclear after this first reading, i expect everyone to ask me, even if such questions may look silly. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
