[9.4 CF 1] What the 5-day Deadline Means

Hackers,

I got a question on RRR which I thought should be addressed on this
list. Basically, the questioner asked me "I have a day job, I can't
promise to review all of these patches in 5 days".

The answer is: only put your name down on patches which you *can* review
in the next 5 days. Don't claim every patch you might want to review
sometime before July 15th; instead, claim patch reviews as you get to
actually working on them.

Of course, sometimes life gets in the way. At which point, I ask people
to *remove* their own names as reviewers as soon as possible when they
know they won't have time to review something. It doesn't benefit the
CF process to have names down of people who aren't actually doing reviews.

Thanks!
