Well, first, who would that person be? Last I checked, all of the senior committers were spoken for. I like this idea, but the list of people who could fill the role is pretty short, and I couldn't possibly start fundraising unless I had a candidate. Second, I don't think someone's employment will make a difference in fixing the commitfest and patch review *process* unless the contributors agree that it needs fixing and that they are willing to make changes to their individual workflow to fix it. Right now there is no consensus about moving forward in our patch review process; everyone seems to want the problem to go away without changing anything. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://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
