There are a lot of problems with Wikimedia's/MediaWiki's code review processes, but in this particular case, it looks like the ball is in your court. (And, for what it's worth, I'm not sure your implementation of the idea makes much sense; see my comment on the bug.)
Hello,
We also tends to be overwhelmed by mails, so a quick personal mail can often help having a specific code / bug to be rereviewed. Some volunteers are sending me direct mails from time to time which is great when I have miss a notification email.
I have no idea how many mail notifications I am receiving, but I am sure I am missing notifications. To give the readers an idea I get mails from:
- all mediawiki/core code review - my changes made to operations/puppet - some WMF only notifications lists - bugs I am subscribed too - upstream bugs I have reported - mw.org watchlist notifications
Weekend included, which is part of the reason my 20% is on Monday :-]
Whenever you do a comment, submit a patch, if nobody respond after someday, make sure they have actually seen your submission. If not ping them on IRC and then send a personal mail.
As for extensions review, I wish I could do some but I am already too busy keeping up with core, testing and continuous integration though. Unfortunately days are only 24hours :-((
cheers,
