As they say on Wikipedia, "[citation needed]". This list grows with every new release: http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/AUTHORS#L27 > Half of feature requests in Trac got misunderstood or not replied or > reviewed within 1 year. The tickets currently open in Trac represent approximately 14.5% of all tickets ever opened. About 15% of all open tickets are currently at the "unreviewed" stage. These numbers suggest that you are, at the very least, exaggerating quite a bit. I'm sure you can and will cherry-pick a few tickets to try to show as examples of why you're right, but on the whole the statistics aren't in your favor here. That doesn't mean we can't do better, of course (we could always do better), but it does mean that your claims need to be taken with a pretty big grain of salt. > So I hope django team will analyze their management structure > critically and at least set responsible persons (maintainers) for > different parts, to ensure there are no items nobody wants to > listen/answer on feature request. You seem to think that any input anyone makes gives them an automatic claim to the time and attention of a committer. I think that's a rather strange idea, because I already don't have enough hours in the day to get the stuff done that I'm doing right now, and that's not exactly a unique situation to be in. This is the point where, traditionally, someone steps up and says we should just bring in a bunch of new committers -- then there'd be plenty of people with plenty of time! -- but it's still not going to get what you seem to want, since there'll always be times when nobody can spare much attention, or requests that nobody particularly feels like dealing with immediately (and, on the whole, I think it's been a very good thing for Django to be so stingy with the commit bits). -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
