Hello Arturo, Even though we appreciate your contributions for code clean-ups in master of Log4j very much, it is quite time consuming for us to review every single line, in particular, given your changes span across dozens (hundreds?) of files and thousands of lines. Time is a pretty scarce resource among Log4j maintainers and we rather spend that on higher priority issues, e.g., bug triages & fixes, (killer?) features, etc.
It would be a pity to get you discouraged from contributing, yet, we think such bulk code clean-ups are better done by committers without needing the attention of another developer. That said, we will be more than happy to see you participating in more functional Log4j stories. Would you consider either improving the documentation and/or picking up open Jira issues? This might also make your way to becoming a committer, where you can freely go wild with your code clean-ups. Kind regards.
