> perfectly valid feature requests knocked down for precisely no reason 1) The feature requests you are talking about have all been considered and rejected by committers. There is an assumption that committers do want to improve Django and do not reject suggestions at a whim; that there is a reason for the rejection. You may not like the reason, but that's a different story and point. > why should I waste my time trying to jump through these arbitrary hoops? 2) The "hoops" are not arbitrary. I see two points in the requirement to go to the mailing list: - The point mentioned many times in this discussion: The mailing list is much more visible than any single ticket. - Saving committers' time. While it's true that > You're not the only person who has time constraints committer time is the most scarce resource of the Django community. So if a committer has already spent some time on a ticket, I'd rather have some other people look at it before requiring committers' attention again. My (non-committer's) 2 cents, Shai. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
