I've received a lot of emails lately, mostly private, from people who<br>
feel they are being left out of the Neutron process. I'm unsure if<br>
other projects have people who feel this way, thus the uniquely worded<br>
subject above. I wanted to broadly address these concerns with this<br>
email.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I have one idea for low-hanging fruit to put new contributors more at ease: to explain a little about both when and why the "Merge" button is finally pressed on a change.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I mean so that new contributors won't have doubts like "is it bad that my change isn't merged yet?", "am I being too meek?", "am I being too pushy?", "have I missed a step somewhere?", "how often should I skip dinner with my family to attend more/different IRC meetings?", and so on.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have had a good experience with this but that is many thanks to friendly people giving me informal feedback and reassurance outside of the Gerrit workflow and official docs.</div><div><br></div><div>
