Ok, so what's wrong with "should not expect any feedback during the merge window"? If they get it, then that's fine. The formulation is loose on purpose. And besides, when one starts working with maintainers, one soon learns when they are the busiest and can refrain from sending patchsets then. Or should we have subsystem maintainers each state whether they wanna do patchsets during the merge window or not? Or are we bikeshedding already? I see your point that different maintainers can be busy at different times but you also have to acknowledge the desire of some maintainers not to get new patchsets during the merge window. So we have to have a way to communicate that to submitters so that no explosions happen. Oh, and also the not-resend-in-under-a-week-and-wait-out-complete-review-first rule. That's my personal pet peeve. Ha, this sounds like a KS topic :-P -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. Sent from a fat crate under my desk.
