Being a maintainer is not about *accepting* patches, it's about *reviewing* them. I do plan to make time to catch up on reviewing patches this cycle. One thing that would help me is if folks (especially Jason, if you would) could start with a detailed review of Nicolai's patches. His incremental approach is I believe the best one from a review perspective, and certainly his cleanup patches are ones which I would expect are no-brainers. - Ted
