What happened to having the bug reports and updates getting mailed to this mailing list? That seemed to work. I posted three bug fix patches and filed two bug reports yesterday but I feel like they are left in a black hole. That's not a feeling you want to leave folks with after they contributed several hours of their time. I know you can easily see the list at http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&states=1&categories=bug. But you know the saying, "out of sight, out of mind." Maybe getting bug reports sent to this mailing list again would help make things along. On 10/11/05, Richard Archer <drupal.org@juggernaut.com.au> wrote:

Since there will be a lot of developers the bug list can get lengthy, don't be shy.
This is an excellent plan and will go a long way towards shortening the backlog of bugs as well as improving the quality of Drupal.
But there still remains the problems of:
- all the feature requests and tasks in the queue
- the fact that the queue grows faster than it is processed
- the way unwanted patches just sit in the queue forever without being reviewed and rejected.
A longer term process needs to be established to make sure worthy patches are considered and also that reviewers/contributors don't waste their time.
