We have already changed the process a lot. These days patches are regularly turned away for not having tests and doc changes in them. Yet, there are no reviewers willing to contribute even this very straight-forward, easy-to-execute check. If the patch meets the formal criteria, the hard part (on the reviewers side) starts: they must understand the code being patched, the nature of the problem, and the patch itself. I don't see how this could be simplified, without neglecting quality. > Then perhaps getting a full-time person should be taken seriously. That's quite expensive, plus somebody would need to supervise that person. A part-time person would be less expensive, but still needs supervision.
