The fact that a lot of patches already got +1 from an external dev and 
are still not reviewed by a core dev is indeed a bit frustrating. Benni 
just told me he needs to finish a customer project and will then give 
some time to the core list again.

It's generally good to see core devs working on new major features, 
there are some things for 4.3 I am really looking forward to. Some of 
the more simple things are done by externals today and this is good. The 
bugday already guided some people on how to patch and send to the list. 
Maybe there could be some core devs who are officially assigned to patch 
reviewing and guiding new devs?

I try do do the following to take some load off from core devs:
- Test more patches faithfully than I send in.
- Update patches if they are not ok from my point of view (sometimes 
just because of CGL), regardless of who sent them and how old long they 
have been hanging around.
- Give tips on how to simple test / verify an issue.

I will probably start a new round of reviewing and testing older patches 
the next days. I really hope this helps if at least someone verifies or 
updates things to be compliant to current trunk.

*sign* Your work is highly appreciated! Your input is always straight 
forwards and points important problems out.
