Re: Making Contributing Code Easier

[Chris Hoess]

To veer off-course a bit, while improving the ease of code contribution is 
a Good Thing, I'd like to see some additional assurance put in place to 
help make sure contributed code gets reviewed.  I've seen a lot of code 
rotting in Bugzilla because the author didn't know about the review 
process, or couldn't get r= when he solicited and gave up, etc., and I'm 
worried that soliciting new contributions may result in a lot of code 
going the same way.  IMO, we should have some sort of periodic sweep 
(like BugDay perhaps, but monthly), wherein people hunt through bugs with 
the "patch" keyword (and attach the keyword, if they hit a bug with an 
attached patch) and ascertain the status of the patch, try to get review 
moving on it, &etc.
