Yet, other people manage to use mail efficiently to interact with the project. So, what does it mean when a person does not manage to achieve a task when others do? Option 1: that person is incompetent. Option 2: that person is using bad tools. Option 3: both.

The fact that you do not realize that I have been doing that for fifteen years shows how little you know. Also, I was only invited officially after more than four years of contributing, including non trivial patches and significant new features. Apparently, nowadays, all it takes is a few months of moving code around and fixing warnings. > And what process is that? Those vague guidelines in the "Contributing" > document?

It is happening because many people here are too nerdy to remember that a human problem cannot be fixed with technical solution. The issue with reviewing patches is that we do not have enough people who know the code well enough to review them. Making it easier to flood us with crappy patches written by AI will not make it better. > I understand fear of a change.
