Re: increasing the number of GCC reviewers
Basile,
You don't need to convince us that we need more reviewers. We all
agree on that. You simply need to suggest a reviewer for some set of
files that
- Knows that set of files very well
- Is familiar with GCC development
- Is willing to review patches and be a maintainer for those files
- Has made enough contributions to those files and whose work is well
regarded by the developer community
You'll quickly find out that this makes for a fairly small set of
people. Long term, I don't think we would do us a service if we
relaxed any of those requirements too much.
