The regular reviewers have been talking about review work being scarce compared to contributions (contributor work) for at least several years now. How can this be changed if there simply aren=E2=80=99t enough peopl= e to review everything? And why does it *need* to be changed? The only contributions that I know of that git(1) *needs* is full support for the hash transition before Git 3.0. > Rather than discarding acceptable work. My work which has been stuck is also acceptable to me. ;) But my opinions are beside the point wrt. an independent review.
