OK, 12 days to be correct. You said it will not happen before the
weekend, and if it happens on Sunday, two of my requests have reached 12
days.

Two options: More manpower or automatic pushes. For me it is important
that I get a time frame that I can count on.

IMO this is something we should discuss on this list. We need to find a
fine balance between pushing updates in time to make maintainers happy
and not too many updates for the users. Maybe something like
security/urgent updates daily, everything else once or twice a week. But
this needs further discussion.

I will see what I can do, but currently I'm swamped with other things,
both Fedora (LinuxTag Berlin) and $dayjob. Also it will take some time
for me to get involved in infrastructure, but if possible, I'll do it.
