I disagree, however, that the backlog of trunk reviews
is not
concerning. It means that we still haven't come up with a good process
for reliable and quick (as in time between commit and review) code
review. I have briefly told the list about my ideas for this in the
past, maybe I should revive that thread some time. I also believe
that, once we have a process where every commit is reviewed within a
reasonable timespan (ideally at most a week), getting deployment
closer to trunk and getting it to stay there will actually be fairly
easy to do.
One of the ways to improve this is to assign mentors to new committers.
Mentors don't have to be necessarily related to the particular area
of committers work. The question is how many current developers
would have time to accommodate "newbies", but maybe we can work
towards this idea?
