Once again I am without any real internet access both at home (Time Warner major Manhattan outage since this morning) and at the office (Verizon still largely out in Lower Manhattan). So I'm not going to be resonsive until one of these two outages are resolved. I cannot even call Time Warner customer support, I get "all circuits are busy" so they're obviously getting bombed with calls. Want to help? There are two ways: 1) Don't do anything that makes more overhead for me. Don't ask about patch status, that's what the heck patchwork is for. If you're patch isn't there and active and you think it needs to bee considered seriously, REPOST it, DON'T ASK ME about a patch I already moved out of my TODO list. That's more work for me. And, this should go without saying %100 of the time, DO NOT send me private email. It is never appropriate, I don't care what excuse you come up with. Just simply don't do it. 2) Don't be a jackass and avoid reviewing patches that you can actually provide feedback on. That is what makes my backlog something that is actually manageable, when everyone else dutifully reviews patches that get posted so that I have something to immediately work against when I get to reviewing that patch myself. One great example is the gianfar patch posted the other day. Nobody is going to review that and I know absolutely nothing about gianfar hardware, whether that is the correct fix, etc. So it'll either just rot there, or I'll have to guess if it's correct. But this is exactly what breaks down my productivity, when people who are knowledgable don't review patches like that one.
