Might want to include data on "short time out". If said timeout also |
10 |
occured despite a dev being away, that also would be relevant. |

Personally, having been on the receiving end of it I don't mind it- |
13 |
the timeout approach is good for getting procrastrinating |
14 |
and/or overloaded maintaners to speak up rather than the bug rotting. |

Eh? Tree standards apply, if the ebuild isn't yet to that point, than |
23 |
it should be sorted prior to unstable /anyways/. If an arch has |
24 |
special standards, and they want the pkg stabled, it's on the *arch* |
25 |
to do the legwork if the requirements are daft, else tell the arch to |
26 |
be less retarded. My view at least. |

I *suspect* the requirements you're complaining about here are more |
29 |
related to source quality/running on alternate arches rather than |
30 |
packaging itself- either way clarification is useful. |

I have no issues w/ people bypassing me if I'm not doing my job in a |
40 |
timely fashion- with the caveat that anyone doing so has to keep what |
41 |
they kill (you break it, you fix it; if I'm overloaded someone |
42 |
making a mess and dumping it in my lap will result in a fair bit of |
43 |
hell directed their way). |
