Agreed. I'll note that the linux kernel used to have a similar
problem. Now there's a two week integration and a 10 week stabilization
period, with occasionally a week added/subtracted. If a feature patch is
submitted for integration (not just parallel review) into the main
branch outside the merge window you get yelled at.  Now, we're at least
two magnitudes smaller, so not everything there applies to us. But I
think looking over that fence, to see how they scaled from smaller where
we are now, to way way bigger, isn't a bad idea.


I think one thing we should work on, is being absolutely religious about
requiring, say, 2 reviews for every nontrivial contribution.  We
currently seem to have a significantly increased submission rate, and at
the same time the number of reviews per patch has gone down
substantially.  I think the "honor" system has failed in that regard.
