Don't believe, *demonstrate*.  It's Christmas time -- we can
find out who's been naughty and nice.

Not that I suggest it's time to freak out if some new helpers are
less active than others; it's only been a week or two, so they can
legitimately still be reading the CG.  But I really want to
encourage you and Carl to run those scripts; there should be no
guesswork / estimation / belief about this.  You should check the
records once a week or two, and actively ask volunteers if they
need clarification if they fall behind.

(incidently, Carl is correct: by the above, I was only referring
to patches whose only verification is "the patch is in git
[master/staging], not "does XYZ work")

David's point is that it only takes a few seconds if you know git.
And even that amount of testing could be automated.

Sure, I'm fine with that for now.

We can revisit it when GOP starts up, potentially with automatic
scripts.  In fact, if we keep on having patches whose only
verification is "it is in git [staging/master]", then that can be
handled by Patchy.
