It might just be an impression but it seems to me that the signoffs are mostly done by a small group of devs. I realize that some of you are busy/inactive but it would be easier and faster if everyone tried to do signoffs once in a while. If we rely on the same 3-4 devs for signoffs, then if they are busy, inactive, forget or don't use the package, then the signoff process become stalled. Therefore, we have all these bumps in the signoff threads.
I apologize for that. I sometimes don't have the time to update my system for a while week and when I do, I forgot which signoffs are pending. I can't update the system if I don't know if I have some free time after the update, because things break in testing every now and then.
This is the reason that I originally wanted the web-based signoffs. They were implemented, but never took off. The theory was that, when I updated after a week or so, I can check for "pending signoffs" on a list and check some boxes.
As an alternative. "pacman -S pacman-contrib; paclist testing". Allan
