I think things are improving.
I wrote or merged in ~10 bugs in the last hour, for example.
And I also agree with Al's point, which was embedded in his humorous
and obviously sarcastic suggestions, in that adding beurocracy isn't
the answer. We already have too much and it scares developers away.
Sure you don't want crap getting into the tree (for too long), but it
is important to be careful to define crap properly. For example,
inundating patch submitters with more requirements, especially ones
involving automatons like checkpatch, is in the end bad.
We can improve the quality of stuff going in and be flexible at the
same time.
