CommitFest 2012-11 Progress

We're entering the last planned week of the CF.  Apart from a 72-hour period
in mid-November, some CF has remained in-progress continuously for the last
176 days.  With 64 out of the 82 current patches unresolved, we're on track to
again see no gap between CF 2012-11 and CF 2013-01.  The process as practiced
today is a shell of its former self[1][2].  Authors, reviewers, committers:
has the process changed to something better, worthy of formally replacing its
predecessor?  Or, rather, do we need a fresh process correction?

Thanks,
nm
