Recently, I've not been merging patches at the rate that I would like. The delay is a problem itself, but it has also meant that people aren't certain of the status of the patches that have been submitted. I understand that this can be frustrating. Not only am I going to work harder to review and merge patches in a more timely manner, but also at providing better feedback more quickly. As such, I will make some simple changes. First, I will either quickly respond with a review, or reply with a confirmation that I received the patch and it has been added to our queue. Second, I will send out bi-weekly emails to the list detailing which patches have been reviewed, which patches I am currently working on, and the updated patch queue. While these changes are relatively minor, I think they should help to make the review process more transparent and less frustrating. To start this off, the current patch queue is at the bottom of this email. If you don't see a patch that you have submitted, or you have an updated version, please send the patch to this mailing list and I'll update the queue. For anyone wishing to submit a patch, the process remains the same: - Make sure the patch applies to the current HEAD of the git repo (http://oss.tresys.com/git/selinux.git). - Send it to this list using the Linux kernel submission standards (http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches). Note: using git format-patch and git send-email will take care of most of this for you. - I will shortly respond with a confirmation Finally, if anyone has any suggestions on ways to make the patch review process better, my ears are all open.
