I can't do anything for the past failures other than saying I'm sorry.
As I mentioned in previous emails in this thread, the work to make the
review process better is unrelated to the topic on this email, really.

I wouldn't say that your patches (or Victor's) weren't important for
the team but I would like to avoid getting into the details of the
past, tbh.

I don't think this needs to be explained and I trust the whole Glance
core team to know this. Although, it's better to be explicit than
implicit so, thanks.

This is were I think I'm failing to communicate the intention here.
The dashboard[0] I've put up is the one that intends to make the core
team's life easier.

Absolutely, I value everyone's feedback on this thread a lot. I hope
I'm explaining the goal correctly. If I'm not, I'm more than happy to
talk more about this (See my email with some stats for example).

Cheers,
Flavio
