... I'm hoping for several kind of responses to this email: ... - requests for checkin privileges, preferably with a specific issue or area of expertise for which the requestor will take responsibility.
I'm specifically requesting not to have checkin privileges. So there. I see two problems: 1. When patches go thru you, you at least eyeball them. This catches bugs and design errors early. 2. For a multi-platform app, few people have adequate resources for testing; e.g., I can test under an obsolete version of Win95, and NT if I have to, but that's it. You may not actually do better testing than that, but having patches go thru you allows me the comfort of believing you do <wink>.
