True. But it's the process that needs to be changed in that case, because it also applies to other patches. Working around it doesn't help. A sponsor is only needed for those without commit access. It's pretty easy to get a review. Are we any further to being able to get access to the bug system, which is long overdue? Thanks, -- Andrew :) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
