Thanks for your reply, assaf! I feel like we are finally making progress, and I am delighted to hear that you would welcome objective criteria over the subjective judgements, in case if such a replacement is practically possible. I hope you are voicing the general sentiment of the Savannah community, and not just your personal opinion. In a way, what you are saying is a game-changer, and now I can finally level with the Savannah community in regard to the code I submitted. I am fully aware it needs improvement, to put it lightly. But just so you know, I submitted it in good faith, with the intention of eventually making it useful for the general audience. I've had absolutely no idea a subjective test would be applied beyond what is stated on the Web. After all, it's not like my submission was a single text file. While there is some (like may be a few KiBs) of generally useless crap, there are also some really awesome portions, like /dobackup/, and some moderately good ideas, like /open/.
I let the reviewer know that the ticket can be closed, since I would have never submitted anything at all if I understood the entire rejection policy. It will take me some time to process your extremely informative post, but eventually I will come back here and/or in one of the venues you mentioned, and make some constructive suggestions in regard to the future development. This is not by any means the end of this conversation, and if any other admins would like to weigh in, I'd really appreciate it.
