Dear Peter, in message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> you wrote: > Ack your patch
I have serious problems in interpreting your terse postings. For example, is above intended to mean "I ack your patch." or shall it mean: "Please ack your patch!" I've asked similar questions before, but you did not reply. Peter, I'm afraid we have a serious problem with processing contributions like patches, bug reports, and other feedback for ARM systems. For example, I did not receive a pull request for the ARM repository for the merge window which just ended, even though we extended it for a couple of weeks, and even though I explicitely asked you for it. I'm afraid that the current state of ARM custodianship is highly frustrating for many people who contributed code and received little or no feedback, and who don't see their contributions going upstream. Please don;t misunderstand me - I don't want to criticize you, I'm just describing the state of thigs as it represents itself to an external viewer. And believe me, I've been in exactly this situation myself for a long, long time. I would appreciate if you could at least comment on how we should continue with the ARM custodianship: is it likely that the situation will improve soon, or is it for some reason more likely that you wil not be able to become a more active ARM custodian? Do you think that splitting responsibility would help you? For example, Harald suggested to take responsibility for the s3c24xx related parts of the code - would this help you? Assume we find volunteers for other SoC's - would this enable you to become more active with the remaining parts of ARM maintainance? Frankly, if you don't have enough time or interest to actually work as a custodian, we should probably accept this fact and try to find somebody else who could take over this work? Feedback welcome...
