Tom gave a good suggestion IMHO and I've found a couple of cases where maybe if someone reached out to the contributor and offered some help probably their patch would have merged (or they would have learned a useful, explicit lesson). Instead auto-abandon has *implicit* connotation: a contributor may never know exactly why that patch was abandoned. I suggest to give a second look at Tom's proposal because I think it doesn't add any more workload on reviewers but provides for a clean exit to a lagging changeset. /stef __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
