I think it's fairly obvious that the current way of doing things has been less than optimal. We all understand that maintainers have limited resources (thats true of pretty much all of us). I think the current complaint is that patches seemingly disappear into a black hole. I think the maintainers need to do *something* to acknowledge patches, even if it's a one line 'Received. Will look at it in the next month or so." Thus handling isn't speeded up, but at least people get *some* feedback. Ideally, this should be done on bugzilla, but mail is nice too. The basic problem is that you have a serious image problem, and you will have to bend over backwards to fix it. -- b -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Biju 'botsie' Chacko biju_chacko at vsnl dot net http://www.symonds.net/~botsie Public Key available on request -----------------------------------------------------------------------
