If you feel that your contributions are reviewed in reasonable time, _you_ don't need to complain or ask for better response times. But other contributors felt differently. We didn't just invent that, there are threads in the archives that show that this did in fact happen. As long as any of the people who contribute code feel that some of their contributions take too long to review, we as maintainers need to do some soul searching to find ways to avoid such feelings.
