As I understand the current policy, the patch acceptance policy is resumed in: - fixes for crying bugs go to 'master'; - little fixes, evident limited patch goes to 'staged'; - more consequent proposals pass to Gerrit and here waits for approval to be applied to 'staged'. Current problem is that the process is stagnated on the Gerrit level. For some obscure reasons Martin do not participates in Gerrit review/acceptance procedures, as well as Ludovic. Nobody else have sufficient authority to do it. Martin has pushed to Gerrit part of SM branch. What are the intentions for the rests? What about next release? What should be included into? How can be tested the compatibility of different proposals? Personally I do not look for additional rights, as Douglas, I'm interested in some action and ready to help to move the things forward. And so, would like to have this possibility. Also Jenkins is dead for some time already. What shall we do? Wait?
