Er, yeah, and those commits flying all day yesterday and the day before by Joe were months ago. The correct way to remind people is to simply post a polite reminder, preferably saying things like you've been running these patches for a while and haven't had any problems; not to say that noone cares. People forget, and people run out of time, and life is generally hectic, so try not to be hard on them and make them feel bad on purpose - they probably do care, but just need to be reminded to slot it into their timetable. Or, as in my case, may care but have lost the past few days (and in some areas, weeks) work (including a PicoBSD custom rejuvenation) to a failing hard drive, and wouldn't mind some, if not appreciation, then at least recognition for the amount of stuff they have juggle to contribute. Now, when my buildworld finishes successfully, if that ever happens, I'll look into it.
