I see, thanks Richard for reminding. I am sorry I failed to locate anywhere(doc or something else) mentioned such convention about ping, will follow the below convention in future.

The patch was sent on Saturday, so this is effectively pinging after one working day in most of Europe and America. That's too soon and comes across as aggressive. I realise you and others are working intensively on this. But in a sense that's part of the reason why reviews might seem slow. The volume of RVV patches recently has been pretty high, so it's been difficult to keep up. There are have also been many other non-RVV patches that have been "unlocked" by stage 1 opening, so there's a high volume from that as well. Also, please bear in mind that most people active in the GCC community have their own work to do and can only a dedicate a certain amount of the day to reviews. And reviewing patches can be time-consuming in itsself. So sometimes a patch will get a review within the day. Sometimes it will take a bit longer. The fact that a patch doesn't get a response within one working day doesn't mean that it's been forgotten. Thanks, Richard
