I've used it in the past as a contributor, and did find that the=0A=
patches I tried to send more or less went idle until I pinged someone=0A=
on IRC and explicitly asked for them to be reviewed. I switched to=0A=
Github, then Gitlab because I was specifically following the=0A=
example/trend set by the Alpine Devs, because I needed more=0A=
interaction and feedback to refine my own work.=0A=
=0A=
I think Drew has a point though, if you want to fire off a patch and=0A=
forget, then the ML takes the least amount of time and effort to=0A=
contribute, and that's a benefit to some people.=0A=
