[Qemu-devel] How long does it normally take patches to make their way into git?

[John Haxby]

Hello,

How long does it normally take patches to make their way into git?  I
only ask because

  [PATCH 1/2][REPOST] Introduce a new 'connected' xendev op called when
Connected.
  [PATCH 2/2][REPOST] Move the xenfb pointer handler to the connected method

were (reposted) just under a month ago (11-Mar-2011) and I have a vested
interest in them :-)

I'm quite happy to wait but I want to make sure that they're acceptable
and, if so, that they will eventually appear.

This has been discussed recently and there are efforts underway to
improve it, basically we need more active subsystem maintainers to
make the development process scale.

How about Stefano or Anthony Perard collect Xen patches that look good
and have at least one Ack/Reviewed-by and send pull requests to
qemu-devel and "Anthony Liguori" <anthony@codemonkey.ws>?

I am up for it and I think is a good idea, especially after Anthony's
patch series is applied, because we'll drop the current qemu-xen tree
and start using upstream qemu with xen-unstable.
