I understand that you might not see it as a problem. I do.

I am only asking that this issue be looked at. The point I am trying
to make is that if the steering committee could solve a simple problem
like, "the time it takes to review a small patch", maybe it could solve
the problem of reviewing a slightly larger patch. By induction, all
patches could be reviewed faster.

How long should it take for a 500 line patch to be reviewed?
1 week?
1 month?
3 months?
6 months?
1 year?

How about a large patch? Do you see 6 months as acceptable?

What is acceptable?
