Why not dedicate one quarter per year, possibly Q3, to fix the oldest bugs in base first (except current security-issues of course) and another quarter, possibly Q1, to fix the oldest bugs in ports first (except current security-issues and port-updates of course). In Q2 and Q4 there's then enough time to get new bugs fixed and new features developed. > I shouldn't have to say this, but when I say fixing a PR I mean just that. > Fixing it, not just closing it with some absurd excuse. I second that. Just my two cent, thanks. -- Kind Regards, Mit freundlichen Grüssen, Markus Kohlmeyer Markus Kohlmeyer PGP: 0xA4D76E4E / 801C 1779 D30A 6AFD 44F9 4A45 9F89 63BD A4D7 6E4E
