No, the average time from a ticket being posted to reviewed is atrociously long these days. An impersonal and automated email is likely to get ignored, if not simply filtered away. However, a personal email is often effective. If anything, I think what would be handy to have is a market for reviewers--reviewing others' code in exchange for yours getting reviewed, assuming it can be done in such a way that quality doesn't suffer. - Robert -- -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
