Yep, that added it - the 'fail' checks if it doesn't
exist came later.

Yes, this shouldn't happen. As a Team member you have the
right to timely review of patches - well everyone should
really, but to be honest many Team members prefer writing
their own stuff to reviewing other people's code. We as a
Team need to get better at this.

If you don't get a timely review, don't drop or ignore it -
make a fuss to the relevent subject matter experts. If you
still get ignored I am always "reviewer of last resort"
(which means sometimes I end up pushing stuff that's not
quite right, but that's the fault of the subject matter
experts who ignored the initial review requests IMHO :-).

As I'm sure you can tell, this isn't my area of expertise :-).

Where do you think this should be done ?
