For the September commitfest, 29 patches were applied (one to pgFoundry)
and 18 patches were sent back for more work.
More importantly, six *new* reviewers completed reviews of of various
patches: Abbas Butt, Alex Hunsaker, Markus Wanner, Ibrar Ahmed, Ryan
Bradetich and Gianni Colli. Several other new reviewers volunteered,
but we ran out of patches to check, and Kenneth Marshall had to quit
reviewing because of Hurricane Ike.
Yaaaaay, reviewers.
If nothing else ever came of the Commit Fest approach, if it creates
more reviewers, then I think the Commit Fest process would be a success.
I think the Commit Fest approach does this by lowering the bar of entry
to become a reviewer. It does this because it brings more focus to
patch review on a regular basis and since it changes the patch review
process from a last minute dash that only experience hackers should get
involved with to a process with more time before the final deadline,
hence more friendly for new reviewers to get involved. Good news all
around!
