*shrug* Same issue, to some degree. For a patch of this size, the
difference between "Needs Review" and "Ready for Committer" is maybe
somewhat less than normal. My point is just that I think there is
work that can be usefully done on this patch by people other than Tom,
even though I believe that ultimately Tom will have to make the call
on whether it goes in. I don't think that should cause Tom to put off
looking at it himself, but neither do I think that anyone else should
feel like we've accomplished something by labelling it Ready for
Committer. I'm disappointed that we marked this RfC so early in the
cycle without catching the docs issue; Marko could have started
working on that much sooner if we'd given him that feedback. Let's
not take our eye off the ball again.
