One or Four clicks isn't a big difference, IMO, and 10 for a person seems like an over-estimate (they are likely to stop contributing out of frustration long before they post that many). Establishing a new expectation that one tracks their patches if they don't get immediately committed and the author at least still deems them worthwhile even if no one is commenting, let alone reviewing. I do agree we need to make it clear to authors that we are no longer moving their commitfest entries for them. This thread isn't that, even if it worked for someone like me. David J.
