There is the unfortunate tendency to let patches (or WIP) hang around for a long while. I think it's mostly an issue of getting reviewers more involved (or, more reviewers involved). On the subject of contributors seeing that their works makes it into the manual, I don't even know if the editor at the moment notifies the contributor when a patch is merged; even if it does, most of the time I end up changing a patch myself before committing outside of the online editor. Giving contributors a) a notification, and b) a pat on the back, when their changes make it through is a great idea. > > -- > Christoph M. Becker > >
