+1. Pings on specific threads can help clear things up when, for example, the author and reviewer are each waiting for the other. And, as you say, they also help avoid the situation where a patch just falls off the radar and misses the release for no especially good reason, which naturally causes people frustration. I think your pings have been quite helpful, although I think it would have been better in some cases if you'd done them sooner. Pinging after a week, with a 3 day deadline, when there are only a few days left in the CommitFest isn't really leaving a lot of room to maneuver. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
