Taylor - thanks for posting these discussions
* Jonathan: (to Peff) you mentioned sometimes you have a mild negative
feeling about something and you’re good about expressing it on-list,
but for a lot of contributors that will cause some discomfort and it
will cause them to stay away from that thread. If we’re a little more
clear about what’s expected, then conversations can get stalled less
often - e.g. when a thread needs a comment from a refs expert, getting
that comment that supports forward progress.
Yes, either forward or backward. Having to keep a series that looks
potentially worth doing for weeks on 'seen' without getting any
movement is *VERY* painful. Would it motivate more experienced
contributors to review and express either support or refusal if I
more frequently, say after 20 days since its latest round got queued
on 'seen', a topic that does not seem to get enough support to be
merged to 'next' and is not getting rerolled?
I think that sounds reasonable. Sometimes I'm quite slow to review but
if I haven't managed to do it within 3 weeks I'm unlikely to get round
to it. I'm also sometimes slow to re-roll if I'm ruminating on the best
way forward, but even if a patch series gets dropped there is nothing
stopping the contributor from re-rolling.
Best Wishes
Phillip
