Lack of resources happened. For transparency, I'll tell how much I have time for PulseAudio maintenance and how I allocate that for patch reviews. I'm allowed to use 20% (7.5 hours / week) of my working time on PulseAudio maintenance. My current approach to allocating that to different tasks is to use 40% (3 hours/week) on replying to questions and discussions on the mailing list and bugzilla, updating the patch status wiki page and attending the weekly meetings, 20% (1.5 hours/week) on miscellaneous tasks and 40% (3 hours/week) on releasing and patch reviews. When there are any release blocker issues to work on, I don't do patch reviews (except for some trivial patches). When there are no release blocker issues, I review patches in the order they are listed on the patch status wiki page (they are sorted according to the date of first submission). So, before I'll get around to your patches, I have a few release blocker issues to sort out (help would be very welcome, especially with bug 88452): - Get clarity on whether to apply Georg's patch "Unconditionally load both bluetooth headset backends", then update the release notes accordingly. - Fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88452 (7.0 blocker) - Fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81777 (I promised to fix this right after 6.0 has been released) After that, there are two patches in the queue before your patches, as can be seen on the patch status wiki page. After those I will review your patches, if nobody else has done that by then. I don't know what system the other maintainers use, but I know they don't have any more time for patch reviews than I do. If you (or anyone else) know someone who would be willing to fund more PA maintenance work, let me know. -- Tanu
