Not only are there Jiras which have been waiting for review for a while, there are Jiras out there that have been reviewed, have been reopened as a result and have then not had anything done with them for Some Time. Not all of them are reopened (I'm sure of the open and inprogress ones are a result of that as well), but there's at least some that that applies too. > What can we do to make this better ? Why isn't it already working ? I think the problem is that there is little incentive to make sure tha tthe patch passes review once it's committed. There are probably changes to the Jira system to make this more obvious. A 'rejected' status rather than 'reopened' or regular summaries which are published to the list. I am generally not in favour of name and shame tactics like that though. I'd rather have a carrot that encourages people to make sure that the patch passes review, rather than a stick to beat people with when it doesn't. - Aidan -- Apache Qpid - World Domination through Advanced Message Queueing http://cwiki.apache.org/qpid "Nine-tenths of wisdom consists in being wise in time." - Theodore Roosevelt
