For really severe bugs I think that pinging just anyone who is around will do, alternatively you could ping the proxy maintainers herd. In both cases there is most of the time someone available; so, it would be a matter of minutes to have the patch applied. And for bugs that can wait, it doesn't really matter that there is a slight delay; with a ping where you provide a patch it is still fixed faster than the average bug on bugzilla (assuming maintainer has time). Please note that the average commit takes longer than 24 seconds as it involves testing the change, repoman checks and similar QA matters. --=20 With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : TomWij@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D --Sig_/exEDV8ZM7/Indopd1CrRNzh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSc8ZbAAoJEJWyH81tNOV9+ZYH/3NjzC34ZfeV7EbFE5jVo+nE 4YnpFvzVS7vJfHB4OYoJIHAWY7yT5ce5hqVy97SFv/U04VdtV7nsNWodmyyr3TVk fboL3YEMfaNfLqb4xV9T4Ity6cjZkl3lrxyrff8WL8GWixpQpMG+nz7QPeZ68N+F M4jDEsQ2oAEZg7TOYZYx1sjDo0XEsAMIEM9Q73pk81KQUGvnWcd/mkEfF/sRoLuL KcUYCjYg5DcJuV6FBY4IXuUtSgP1XZnlGPe5E6L2o9Ed2hvZcu82i0/8sjmpFvx5 D2X1fV6ZJL2XVKdEVxjUVnlYq0IK1V8C2pHA+ox4ZxGa/l6Aecvqc9v7OdewLZw= =ZUQs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/exEDV8ZM7/Indopd1CrRNzh--
