Patch submitters, if you have a patch that has not been reviewed yet, would you mind sending me a *private* email with a URL to the patch, please? I will add it to our checklist. We can try to review it promptly. > I've meant to review some of these, but of course it is tough to get to > them all.

But I'll start taking the stance that, if no one liked at it for weeks, and I don't see anything wrong, let's put it in, and see what happens. I would have prefered we did that at some other time but close to a release, though... > I just wanted to encourage maintainers to make an extra effort. And let's encourage more people to become maintainers if we think they are ready. I've added a new section to the gdb-7.0_release wiki page, that lists all patches that we know of that we should make every effort to review before the 7.0 release is made. -- Joel
