Aha, OK. So you're talking about all the different things we might do
to get more reviewers. I'm only talking about adding reviewers to the
bottom of the release notes, which is certainly a bounded activity of
*very* limited effort. Which is why I was confused and aghast at your
talk of "unbounded work".
To be completely clear: I am talking only about the compromise discussed
on this thread, namely:
a) listing reviewers who did "extensive work" as co-authors on the
patch, and
b) listing other reviewers at the bottom of the release notes.
Per earlier discussions. You started this thread by claiming that
adding the reviewers to 9.4 would be too hard, and I argued that it
would not and in fact I'm already working on it. Nothing I've talked
about in this thread has been about anything else.
