more likely that bugs will be fixed. I think we need to have an official "it's ok to apply patches everywhere" policy more than anything else.
Has the fixing of bugs in the manner you cite above worked so far ? ( rhetorical question )
It does for most other big open source projects. Boost is IMVHO a bit overly courteous to the maintainer/author, which as a result means that there are fewer "junior maintainers".
Aside from bugs being fixed or doc being updated, what happens when people request changes to be made, whether additions or updates to the current functionality ?
Do it with fast ad hoc review, but with reversed sign, if nobody objects its in. Regards Fabio
