Does this imply that we're giving up on the new email-based review
process? Some maintainers have already adopted it and there seemed to be
general consensus on it, except maybe for some procedural details.

What's the ticket number?

Almost all the patches I've seen posted to the list where promptly
reviewed by one or multiple people.

Please, don't ask contributors to also file a bug in Trac, attach the
patch and set the "r+" keyword before you can merge otherwise good
patches.

I'll give it a look today.

Perhaps you haven't noticed that I'm *already* pre-reviewing plenty of
patches. Only, I do it on sugar-devel@, which is what we had agreed to
do a few weeks ago after discussing it extensively on IRC with you.

iirc, you were opposed only to let any contributors approve patches for
Sugar modules with missing or unresponsive maintainers.

What shall we do to resolve the current uncertainty quickly? Shall we
vote the new review process with Selectricity?

Ok, I'll do it when I announce the build. Maybe it will happen by this
weekend.
