I can't tell the difference between when he's busy, and when he's not responding to me. Unfortunately it's all the same. > I understand your concerns about the system, but you need to consider > that you're dealing with individuals, not just a system. Thanks for the advice. This problem is very serious to me. In fact, I don't have any personal problems with Andrew, he's reviewed all of my patches and given me good advice. The problem is, I can't get a serious amount of work done, because there is no one in the MI area that will review my patches within a reasonable amount of time. I simply want to fix that problem. Eli told me the only way to fix the problem was to talk to the head maintainer. Unfortunately for me, the head maintainer is the only active maintainer for the MI interface. My question is, what can I do, what options do I have, to contribute a large amount to the MI interface within a reasonable amount of time? Everyone involved in GDB should be interested in this question. Thanks, Bob Rossi
