[Gdbheads] Feb's patch resolution rate

[Andrew Cagney]

Hello,

I think its very important that we see the full picture here as 
otherwize we'll too easily gain a false or misleading impression of the 
current state of play (bad news or rumors unfortunatly gain traction far 
quicker that positives).

To this end, I've attached a breakdown of February's patches that 
required approval (i.e., I excluded self approved patches).  Looking at 
the numbers:

- ~60 patches

- typical (median) review time is 1 day

- average review time is ~2.5 days

- pinging helps (80% of pings got resolved)

- ~12% of patches are unresolved (pinged 25%, unpinged 75%)

I think bob has drawn a really short straw straw here. Bob's posted a 
very complex patch (contrary to assertion as it modifies symtab and an 
interface) and depends on comments from a specialized reviewer.

Andrew

PS: I probably screwed up the numbers but they are in the right 
ballpark, and I'd better follow up on some of my own patches.
