Hi,
Looks like we went from one extreme (submit requests hanging around for months) to the other. It happened now for the second time in two days that I see a submit request accepted within a few hours that was a) not submitted by the actual package maintainer and b) not accepted nor acknowledged by the actual package maintainer and c) not urgent in any way. Both cases were core distro packages. Please, if you are project maintainer but not package maintainer give the actual maintainer a chance to review what arbitrary people do to their package. By giving a chance I'm talking about weeks rather than hours. It's very unfair and annoying to
Weeks is very frustrating for the submitter actually as it's currently not possible to give useful feedback - I hope that Shayon succeeds in having comments implemented in the build service, so that project maintainers can do reviews and add their liking/disliking to the request and then wait for the actual maintainer to step up.
With the 4th/5th being a US holiday I'm only now getting a chance to catchup on this list. In addition to the above comment scenario, I can see comments being useful for the following: "Hi. I'm the package maintainer, yes I see this request, will the project maintainers please leave it alone for a couple of days so I can have time to review it" ;-) In the past I've had to revert changes that have been accepted by project maintainers just hours after they've been submitted. If we can improve the workflow in this area it will be appreciated.
