But don't panic ;-) I will continue to check the list and respond to issues that require maintainer attention. I'll try to do that at least once per week (perhaps more but I can't make a promise). I understand the other maintainers are quite busy as well. So in order to keep things smooth, here are two ways in which you can help: - For obvious bug fixes, remember they can be committed straight away. Just use common sense. Then I can oversee those changes through commit-grub logs which is less time-consuming. - Review other people's code and ideas. If you're reading this mail and you think you're qualified to give your opinion, then you are. It's much easier to approve (or disapprove) a proposed idea if others have given their insight on it. Likewise for code. If there's something a maintainer should urgently respond to, and has been left unattended, feel free to contact me directly through mail or IRC. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
