Re: Commit fest 2019-09

Pencils down!

Commitfest now has officially ended, and here are some numbers:

statusstring │ week1 │ week2 │ week3 │ week4 │ count
────────────────────────┼───────┼───────┼───────┼───────┼───────
Needs review │ 165 │ 138 │ 116 │ 118 │ 117
Waiting on Author │ 30 │ 44 │ 51 │ 44 │ 39
Ready for Committer │ 11 │ 5 │ 8 │ 11 │ 9
Returned with Feedback │ 1 │ 4 │ 5 │ 5 │ 8
Moved to next CF │ 2 │ 4 │ 4 │ 4 │ 5
Committed │ 14 │ 23 │ 32 │ 34 │ 38
Rejected │ 1 │ 1 │ 1 │ 1 │ 1
Withdrawn │ 4 │ 9 │ 11 │ 11 │ 11

This fourth week was almost as disappointing as the previous one; only
four CF entries got marked committed. I attribute that to the fact that
we have one of our most active committers busy with the pg12 release,
and most of the other committers are not paying any attention to the
commitfest, instead spending their time developing other patches (I
suppose that means our future still looks bright, but in CF terms it's
still sad.)

We made no progress at all on bugfixes this week -- numbers are
identical to the past one.

On the bright side, a lot of non-committer reviewers seem to have become
more active -- in a subjective look, quite a few patches look better now
than they did a week ago. Also, patch authors seem to have become more
engaged, so there aren't as many patches that don't even apply.

I will be spending some time today marking patches that weren't updated
in time as returned-with-feedback, and moving others to the next
commitfest, and then I'll close this commitfest. I'll be also trying to
commit a couple of pending patches, so I may yet provide one last
update.

Thanks everyone,
