Couldn't (B) be done by the app? If you recall, I suggested a while ago that the app ought to auto-email reviewers and authors after a few days of inactivity, and then alert you if they don't respond after a couple days more. Anyway, I can easily see dividing the duties of assigning patches to reviewers and keeping status updated. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. www.pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
