The asymmetry between submitter volume/reviewer bandwidth is the MOST CRITICAL issue we face. If reviewers are required to reply to all of these people, the project's dead, AFAIC. Ignoring is the only workable long-term solution. The issue we had before was a lack of a CLEAR and LOUD 'yes ignore these people' from Linus. We now have that :) -- Cheers, Lorenzo
