| Agreed. To add up on that, last month Graydon Hoare officially
announced his

term

Since this all was triggered by a bad commit, we should evaluate commit
and review policy as well and ideally end up with something that can be
hooked up to http://review-board.org/.

After, since at least 3 core developers won't be at FOSDEM.

regards,

Koen
