gnu-patches back log

[Pjotr Prins]

Now we have debbugs we can see there is a building back-log:

  
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?package=guix-patches;max-bugs=100;base-order=1;bug-rev=1

A patch like this one

  https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=25725

has been two weeks without comment. I think we should not leave patches without
feedback longer than one week - even 3 days, to be honest. It is the surest way
to kill enthusiasm.

To move forward with Guix and to recognise the effort new submitters
put in I would like to ask *all* reviewers to pick an outstanding
patch on a regular basis. If reviewers split the work it should be doable.

Would it be an idea to send out weekly E-mails with patches that had
no attention to a select list of reviewers? Or maybe to the ML as a
whole? Basically it would read:

Summary

    Status
        31 Outstanding
        18 Resolved
    Severity
        49 Normal bugs
    Classification
        22 Patch Available
        9 Unclassified

Patches older than 1 week:

gnu: mumble: Build with 'murmur' server component.  Modified 13 days ago;
gnu: Add blists.                                    Modified 13 days ago;
gnu: Add lush2.                                     Modified 13 days ago;
etc.
