+ worried that this list is not reviewed (Xisco)
+ just reading the list through is not enough
+ Hossein can review patches from non-committers
+ not worried about changes from committers (Caolan)
+ would focus on changes which are ~done, just not reviewed (Xisco)
+ what is the way to mark the change as "don't abandon this"? (Hossein)
+ 1 month change -> no reply -> abandon in 1 month
+ what is the problem: maybe a matter of documentation? (Lubos)
+ perhaps the author is afraid to "ping", while this is OK
+ if author is not a committer, no reply from reviewers -> flag that
+ every case is different, but perhaps can improve the message (Xisco)
+ e.g. what will happen next? when? what to do to avoid that? (Hossein)
AI: create wiki to page to describe these + then link to that from gerrit comments (Hossein)
+ ideally if the abandon has to happen, then abandon it early, not later by pootle bot (Ilmari)
+ LibreOffice Gerrit Quiz
+ learning material from Ilmari and Hossein:
