Hi guys,

We currently have 35 PRs that appear ready but are not being merged because nobody is reviewing them.

To make code review lighter, I propose modifying our governance as follows:

  • Typos, comments, and documentation: no review required.
  • Build/CI fixes: review optional.
  • Test framework changes: review optional.
  • Refactoring without behavior changes: review optional.
  • Bug fixes: one review required before merge.
  • New features: one review required before merge, with review encouraged at the start and during development when practical.
  • Architectural changes: one review required before merge, with review encouraged at the start and during development when practical.

Let me know what you think.

Also, if someone could review PR #158 (normally the last remaining patch before all Debian and FreeBSD patches are integrated), I would appreciate it. For a new feature like this, I am particularly interested in feedback on:

  • Whether the tests cover the expected use cases and edge cases.
  • Whether the implementation is understandable and maintainable.
  • Whether the user interface and behavior are intuitive.
  • Any obvious issues, limitations, or potential improvements.

If everything goes well, a release could be expected fairly soon afterwards.

Thanks,
Bruno
