Hi Ricardo,
I recently added two new patches for the project module. I appreciate developers are busy people, but it's now been over a week and no-one has committed the patches and only one person has reviewed a patch:
http://drupal.org/node/29050 http://drupal.org/node/29061
I would like to make a few further changes to the project module and even write my own modules for Subversion/CVS integration and have applied for committer status (over a week ago now) but have yet to hear back. Is there a moratorium on new committers? Is someone already looking after the project module? If not, what is the likelihood that I could be made a committer?
It is always the best idea to directly contact the module maintainers, and ask for permission to commit changes and additions, and/or bring your patches to their attention. I for one have been (and I am) quilty of not doing much maintanance on modules showing up as maintained by me, but in case I see some positive takeover offer, I mostly grant and let the module evolve. Since project module is an integral part of the Drupal project, and is heavily used on drupal.org, it is a different matter however. Anyway, you need to contact the maintainer(s) directly.
