Until today the following happened in this endless story:Really, the whining just makes me want to drop your patch..Let's be courteous and not drive away contributors. There's no relation between accepting patches and some nudging on the contributor's part especially when there's no feedback on patches; positive or negative. If there'd be a daemon sending a mail saying the patch is in some staging queue it'll reduce everyone's effort. Such extra mails definitely aren't a problem. If it's later reverted because of any kind of failure, again a polite mail wouldn't hurt.
The problem is patch volume. We often see hundreds of patches a day. If typing a mail for each patch takes 2 minutes, that's potentially hours spent just on sending these mails.
What I really need is some way to automatically generate these notifications. It's pretty easy to send a mail when a patch enters the queue but it's more difficult to send a mail when a patch is removed from the queue via a rebase. Often times, I remove patches from the queue simply because I'm not the right path for the patches to be committed from (like linux-user).
Usually, if I remove a patch from the queue because something is wrong with it, I send out an email explaining what is wrong.
