Re: Commitfest 2023-03 starting tomorrow!

So, sorry I've been a bit under the weather but can concentrate on the
commitfest now. I tried to recapitulate the history but the activity
log only goes back a certain distance on the web. If I can log in to
the database I guess I could construct the history from sql queries if
it was important.

But where we stand now is:

Status summary:
Needs review: 152.
Waiting on Author: 42.
Ready for Committer: 39.
Committed: 61.
Moved to next CF: 4.
Withdrawn: 17.
Returned with Feedback: 4.
Total: 319.

Of the Needs Review patches there are 81 that have received no email
messages since the CF began. A lot of those have reviews attached but
presumably those reviewers are mostly from earlier CFs and may have
already contributed all they can.

I don't know, should we move some or all of these to the next CF
already? I'm reluctant to bounce them en masse because there are
definitely some patches that will get reviewed and some that should
really be marked "Ready for Committer".

These patches that are "Needs Review" and have received no comments at
all since before March 1st are these. If your patch is amongst this
list I would suggest any of:

1) Move it yourself to the next CF (or withdraw it)
2) Post to the list with any pending questions asking for specific
feedback -- it's much more likely to get feedback than just a generic
"here's a patch plz review"...
3) Mark it Ready for Committer and possibly post explaining the
resolution to any earlier questions to make it easier for a committer
to understand the state

If there's still no emails on these at some point I suppose it will
make sense to move them out of the CF.
