So, 4 months is only a bit more than one release cycle. Maybe 6, since we're currently at 12? And I don't disagree with saying we need more people to list themselves under MAINTAINERS if they're interested. The feedback has been less on board / platform code, and more on general code that just won't usually have a specific maintainer, and due to the slowness of testing cycles on a lot of platforms, it takes a while for corner cases to be found and reported on or a workaround / fix proposed. --=20 Tom --2MVutSgor1NRVOJY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTzzqh0PWDgGS+bTHor4qD1Cr/kCgUCakQ2QQAKCRAr4qD1Cr/k CsDLAQC08K1PEv4dJ5x0aqXGNn7/h9z8kift3zoqyl9hVE6D1QD7BA+lsZnt+SfA x7qGWyaeevO7yPqqVfl3FPhqSihKOAU= =pfLd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --2MVutSgor1NRVOJY--
