Re: Patch queue and reviewing (Was Re: Generator programs can only be built with optimization enabled?)

This is understandable.  In any case, it would probably best to have

a small number of people to submit patches to the auto-builder after
an initial review.


I guess I understood wrongly what the problem was. I believed that
there was a shortage of human reviewers and that by "wasting
resources" you meant someone reviewing a patch that doesn't even pass
the testsuite, and thus, the pre-review batch test was a way to avoid
wasting (human) resources on an unacceptable patch. Sorry for the
confusion.
