I am only user, not developer. And it seems to me there is many changes around some pyflakes, travis, test and some other weird stuff, but there
Is that really true? 50% of all committed patches of the last 3 months depends on the framework and it's scripts, 10% where for scripts only, 30% where for tests which are important for the validity of methods and the rest where documentation and cosmetic changes. A lot of them where bugfixes. Anyway I agree the delay to solve bugs is increasing in the last months and the merged commits are decreasing a lot in the past. There where the lowest amount of commits since start of the project which was nearby 50 commit per month this year whereas we had 100-150 each month in the last ten years (in summary for the master branches of compat and core). 6 Developers make 75% of the commits but the main authors changes after 2 or 3 years. Peer group review is good for good quality code and to prevent malfunctions but it leads to a delayed commit if any. We have 21 developers with CR+2 right but only few use it.
I propose to give CR+2 access to some new coders like - Lokal Profil - Dalba - Whym
if they and the community agree.
Anyway that doesn't really help you with your scripts but it could help for the current review process.
