And who will review patches made? There are already six push |
| 16 |
requests pending on OpenRC github for a long time: |
| 17 |
https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/pulls |

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=391945 is fixed by: |

I understand that all devs have issues of their own to handle and I |
| 27 |

Another one is that someone with proper authority should take care |
| 30 |
