Re: 9.5 CF1

Hi.

We're two weeks into the CommitFest now, and things are moving along
quite nicely.

Fourteen patches have been committed, and twelve more are marked ready
for committer. But most importantly, many patches have been reviewed,
and only nine patches still lack a reviewer (and most of those have
seen some discussion already).

I have sent a number of reminders and status inquiries by private mail,
and will continue to do so for "waiting on author" and "needs review"
patches. (Living as I do at the edge of a forest, I have also curated
a fine selection of sharp sticks to poke people with if they don't
respond during the week.)

Here's a list of the patches that have no listed reviewers:

Does anyone want to pick up one of these?

Thanks to everyone for their participation. It's especially nice to see
several reviews posted, and the authors responding quickly with updated
versions of their patch to address the review comments.

As always, please feel free to contact me with questions.
