Just from a patch submitter perspective, I'd like to see some kind of
response. I can believe what you say about patchwork, so I wouldn't
advocate it.

I agree to Joe's perspective that Greg is overbooked regarding time.
I think that this is an ongoing problem, not just a current one that
will go away, so for me, the question is what is Greg willing to do
about it?
