A few years ago I was working on ReactOS and I found a bug in the list view control. After working hard on a patch, I submitted it and heard nothing about it. Have community relations improved since then?
- coldpie 10y agoI'm sorry to hear that. In order to avoid regressions, we have pretty rigorous requirements for patch submissions. Unfortunately this can result in dropped patches, especially in subsystems that no one in particular feels responsible for. We are trying to improve this, and we now ship a MAINTAINERS file that will hopefully help with this, and are also actively spreading patch review responsibilities around. I don't think we're significantly worse than most OSS projects, but that doesn't mean we can't improve. In terms of getting a patch accepted, your best move is to include tests that prove your change is correct. Explaining how your change fixes an application will also help.
- projektfu 10y agoI did those things back then, but there just wasn't anyone listening on the other end.
