Hi again Everyone,
Thanks for the insight.
And while no one has suggested it was the case, let me re-itterate
That I wasn't trying to obtain commit access to the SVN repository by
some stealth manner.
It purely "stemmed" from am "I" as PM and are "we" as a project dong
all that can for patch submissions.
it would seem that we are and it would also seem that just about
everyone thought the same way too.
In that case, perhaps some appropriate update to HACKING is in order?
I could add it to the PM description - in the sense of;
This is what the role does with your submissions
If the patch is not committed at the time it is proposed, then he
following..... occur.
Does this seem worthwhile? and if so - I'll scribe up a patch to
HACKING.
Gavin.
