Patch Cycle

Rails
1

Hello,

I submitted a patch http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3287 (
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3287) a couple of days ago. The patch
adds
some methods into and changes the existing methods in the CaptureHelper
module. It should not, as I can see, affect any existing Rails
implementations.

I added the relevant unit tests and all but one of the tests pass. The
test
that fails failed since I started using Edge Rails (before I made
changes)
and seems unrelated.

This is my first patch that affects any code in Rails. How long does it
typically take to get feedback on a patch of this nature?
Are things backlogged right now with the release of 1.0.0?

It’s always taken a long time for any of my patches to be accepted.
Your best bet is to send a message to rails-core, and discuss the
matter there. Ask for a public review.

Bye !

We definitely have a significant backlog on processing new tickets for
Rails. The 1.0 crunch was a sprint and most of the core team is taking
some restitution from that to work on their real job for a bit ;). So
to you and everyone else with stuff in the queue, we appreciate your
patience.

I made a brief post on this and how I am using switchtower to deploy
uncommitted patches to production.
