Generally, prodding is enough. Sometimes, it might require multiple attempts.

Archetype is particularly problematic, though, as the current trunk has a limited future as there is some work ongoing to rewrite it, but with no timeline for it replacing the current implementation. It's obviously not an ideal situation. The patch should be noticed and ported to the new code at a more suitable time later. Otherwise, if someone puts together another release on the current code it should dropped in there.

Apologies for the confusion.

Cheers,
Brett

Does anybody have an answer for this? I enjoy submitting patches, but I'm not really willing to do them if they are going into a black hole.

Thanks,

Subject: When I submit a patch for a bug, how do I get someone's attention to merge it


Hi Guys,

I recently submitted a patch to a problem listed in JIRA
 (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-35) but I didn't hear any
 response after a few weeks.  Do I need to post here to bring it to
 someone's attention?  Maybe an email?

I don't want to be a pest, I just don't know if there is some unwritten
 procedure I'm unaware of.  I have been following the instructions at
http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-m2- development.html#Creating_and_submitting_a_patch.

Thanks,
Matt
