Hi, > I think my time is more valuable than others because there are many
Yes I agree. I would not expect you or Linus Torvalds to be the people new contributors in Debian would interact with. Also due to nature of the packages you have, the chances of you uploading and ignoring pending contributions are very low. For an average package, it is however sad to see people I mentor submit perfectly valid improvements, only to see them being neglected and the maintainer doing the same change themselves in vain. > We're all volunteers; and I think people who are trying to demand that > volunteers do things *their* way is just being counter-productive. As It is not me demanding you to do something *my* way. My first message included the list below, showing thousands of MRs across Debian, so surely it is more of "our" way than just me alone, and sending a reminder for people using Salsa to review Merge Requests should not be that controversial. Number of open MRs / total (and growth since January 2025): 896/10545 (+888) https://salsa.debian.org/groups/debian/-/merge_requests 96/3174 (+116) https://salsa.debian.org/groups/go-team/-/merge_requests 79/2526 (+190) https://salsa.debian.org/groups/python-team/-/merge_requests 34/2065 (+379) https://salsa.debian.org/groups/kernel-team/-/merge_requests 56/1721 (+230) https://salsa.debian.org/groups/gnome-team/-/merge_requests 614/1280 (+38) https://salsa.debian.org/groups/java-team/-/merge_requests 83/1013 (+33) https://salsa.debian.org/groups/multimedia-team/-/merge_requests 55/1122 (+158) https://salsa.debian.org/groups/rust-team/-/merge_requests 21/1053 (+171) https://salsa.debian.org/groups/DebianOnMobile-team/-/merge_requests 142/828 (+67) https://salsa.debian.org/groups/installer-team/-/merge_requests 28/816 (+91) https://salsa.debian.org/groups/games-team/-/merge_requests 27/658 (+53) https://salsa.debian.org/groups/Mobian-team/-/merge_requests 17/451 (+7) https://salsa.debian.org/groups/js-team/-/merge_requests 17/372 (+29) https://salsa.debian.org/groups/libvirt-team/-/merge_requests 1/288 (+6) https://salsa.debian.org/groups/med-team/-/merge_requests
