subscribed to this list? Is she reading it?
As I read it, EPMs are directly beneath Danese and presumably have
some say in how tech resources are used (thus "Manager"):

Software EPMs listed at
<http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Staff#Technology> (excluding
Usability) are Alolita Sharma, Tomasz Finc, and Rob Lanphier. Robla
is the EPM in charge of General Engineering, which as I understand it
is the group that includes most of the staff developers participating
in this discussion. He's consistently commented on all of these
threads, and is clearly reading them. So I'm pretty sure the issue
isn't being ignored.
Yes, RobLa definitely deserves props for being active on this list (as do
many other staffers).
I'm still trying to understand the nature of this problem. I think that's
what's bothering me the most at the moment. It's frustrating that I still
can't quite figure out exactly what the issue is [with code deployment being
so slow] and why it isn't being resolved (even if I don't hold out much hope
for an actual resolution being implemented). To me, the solution seems a lot
more obvious than it does to others, a point that I'm still struggling with
in my head.
