Could you please avoid getting that harsh in all your messages? I think
I'm not the only getting upset by the way you handle communication.

You'll find unreviewed patches all over the GNOME modules, that's a
fact. People are busy fixing other bugs, or busy with their own life, or
just stop maintaining things. I'm not a huge fan of people saying that
everything is ok, always keeping happy-happy, and not facing problems.
But using stop energy that relentlessly doesn't help either.

What if you were the maintainer of that module? Wouldn't you get
offended by someone publicly trying to put shame on you for not getting
things done fast enough? I would.

Please directly contact the maintainers of a module before sending this
kind of message to the d-d-l, and try some psychology: asking somebody
to do something works much better if you kindly ask, and thank people,
rather than if you imply that they either are morons or slackers.

GNOME is a community, GNOME is people. Smashing people the ones against
the others helps nobody...
