Thanks for your general interest.

I hope that occasional disagreements can be resolved in constructive ways.


> However, it's a pain to review 20 patches if you could review 4 instead.

Are there any more possibilities to improve the convenience for this
change review process with advanced tools?


> Please take the reviewers' time into consideration too.

But I guess that it is hard to do something about corresponding efforts
when various contributors can easily spot many software update opportunities
in the discussed source files, isn't it?

Markus
