</span>Hi Bekket, thanks for the response.<br>
<br>
I've been following llvm-commits pretty intently for the last 6 weeks<br>
or so. My impression is that the list of patches that are stuck on<br>
reviews and received a 'ping' in that time isn't too huge. I think the<br>
important thing to remember is that the review process is working well<br>
for a large volume of patches, so we're talking about highlighting a<br>
fairly small subset.<br>
