Hi all,
Pulling out a subconversation from the collaboration thread....

The number one thing that volunteers are unhappy about is non-deployment of volunteer code. Why? Because the only reason for their participation is so that their code should be deployed. When their code is neglected while other people's code is deployed immediately, solely because those other people happen to work for Wikimedia, that will result in a great deal of frustration no matter what attitude anyone approaches it with.
One thing that would be extremely helpful in getting WMF focus would be to get things organized on mediawiki.org to help us gain a clear view of what is the queue. There are three lists on mediawiki.org right now: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Review_queue http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_review http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment
Additionally, there's an list of items in Bugzilla (in no particular order): https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=need-review&query_fo...
It would be wonderful to have a shared view of not just the long list of things pending, but some shared way of seeing an ordering. Even if there's disagreement about the "right" order of the list, just having an order to argue about would be huge step forward.
Is mediawiki.org the right place to keep track of the queue? If so, is anyone here willing to do some wiki gardening and merge those three pages above?
