There has been quite an explosion of DIP count recently. With just 3

overview of what actually happens on topic.
Shouldn't more precise categorization be added? I can imagine
(Draft/Approved - Needs Implementation/Implemented/Rejected/Needs
Improvements) as minimal useful state set. Some of DIPs rot there for
eternity with an uncertain future.
I think we need something similar to the review queue. Also, what's
the point of DIP's if none of the core developers are looking at them.
I'm pretty sure that I've seen several DIP's that have no comments
from Walter or Andrei.
I am pretty sure about half of ones that have been added recently have
no comments from Walter/Andrei. That worries me too, as it minimizes
difference between DIP and random newsgroup thread.
Full review analog may be an overkill, but at least clear indication of
DIP state is a must, in my opinion.
No need to worry. Authoring a DIP indicates a willingness of the author
to formalize a request, submit it to community scrutiny, and bring it to
good shape before it is formally reviewed.
