I won't poke them to review my package, as if it was the most important
thing in the universe, before anything else. I just wanted to ask about its
status and possible review because my package is already towards the front
of the queue since a few weeks ago, and new packages behind mine are being
approved constantly, and mine isn't.
Why is this important? In this lapse of time of 2 months, my package (1.7.1
version) was already obsoleted (by 1.7.2, with a lot of bug fixes). So I
was wondering if it's worth to invest time in creating a package for 1.7.2,
or if the effort might be futile because the package won't be reviewed and
approved under any circumstance until freeze is over. By that time 1.7.3
might be out, and my effort wasted again, so I would choose not to create
the 1.7.2 package at this moment.
I think that these are pretty reasonable things that a contributor can ask,
to decide what to do with his free time, but maybe I am wrong. In any case,
having unresolved doubts about this, the voluntary effort that I could put
forward in the next few weeks will be spent elsewhere, where the effort will
hopefully be more appreciated and won't be wasted for sure.
Cheers.
