:None of that excuses the extreme abuse that Matt has done. I think
:you are over-stating things here.

Oh? You want to talk about abuse? Just look at the IRC logs. I've
played nice with the UCRED stuff, and so far all I have to show for it
is 10 days of sitting on my buns with a perfectly good set of patches
sleeping in my tree. But that will be the last time.
If someone is actually actively working on something I will not tromp
all over their feet. I do not consider letting a patch go stale in a
private tree for months on end to be 'actively working on something'.
I do not consider having hundreds of kilobytes of uncomitted patches
covering almost every source file in sys/ over a period of a year or
more to be 'actively working on something', and neither should anyone
else in this list.
I can work with Alfred's suggestion but only if it's used in the right
way. I will absolutely not accept someone like JHB asking me to wait
*every* *single* *time* I have a contribution. Some times, sure. But
not *every* time. That is abuse of the project in my opinion.
