Jan> I maintain a list of my own patches I submitted. Another problem is that Jan> older patches sometimes even reviewed no longer get a response by their Jan> submitter so there should be also some response timeouts. I think bugzilla would be better. * User files patch in bugzilla, makes sure to tag the attachment as a patch * Reviews can be done in bugzilla (or email? I forget if that is enabled on sourceware, but if not perhaps we could set it up) * A reviewer would put the bug into WAITING; we can randomly do queries for this and close all WAITING bugs older than a year or two * We could have a job anywhere to query bugzilla and send out weekly ping reminders To be clear, I don't object to your CONTRIBUTE change. I have a suspicion that adding more work for the contributors is going to mean more patches being dropped (by them), but time will tell. Tom
