If you are just asking for review, it's not spamming. So yes, in case the patches are not getting any feedback for too long, you can write to the mailing list, you can complain on IRC, etc. You can also add relevant people (those who contributed related code lately) via Gerrit's CC feature. > Or should I use an other email address to add a fake > reviewer ? Fake reviewers do not help improve code quality. But real reviewers often do. Most of us have coworkers or friends or fellow students who work in related field. So when you're sending a patch, why not ask them to review it? It's not hard, and it's fun, and you have a chance to discuss your code with them (and sometimes it helps a lot, see "rubber duck debugging"). > Don't take me wrong, I have no emotion about this situation.

If you have any suggestions about how we can realistically improve the experience for the contributors, we're open to the discussion, really, we need more feedback on all the areas, both user experience, and developer experience. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercer...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
