OMG! :)

Agreed! See my last reply on this subject (under the original topic).
 

Still seems like tricky business to me. Of course, I could be wrong. I think that once we remove the major backlog we'll be able to clean up the pull requests and branches nicely.

What I believe we need are reviewers. Basically nowadays I review everything and unofficially delegate things to Alexis, Franck, David, yourself, others. Most of these are either in inline responses to people (which isn't good because the intended reviewer could miss it) or on IRC/mail - not a very good way of doing it.

No one is actually an official reviewer that knows that what they do.

I think that if some people were just reviewers (even if it's just for specific stuff they know about), it'll be easier to skim through the pull requests and merge things better.

Also, if we'll be able to add new stuff and deprecate old behavior in the same release series (see your number 1 above, "About CPAN releases"), it'll be MUCH easier to integrate stuff. I'm still waiting on the forward() feature, for example.
