Re: Bowie Owens is my hero

Hi, 

First let me join Murray in praising Bowie. Like I've already said in
my Advogato diary, it's amazing how fast you sometimes go from bug
discovery/report to patch.

Great news, I wanted to bring this up (getting a GNOME CVS account for
you) for long but never when I was actually near a computer:)
As for the various patches in Bugzilla, I can't say I really throughoutly
test each one before checking them in, but I do glance them over, which
takes some time, hence the delays of sometimes whole weeks. Also, as you
have probably seen with my replies, sometimes a bug report or a patch
makes it clear that there's another related issue lurking around, and I
like to investigate them there and then, to at least be able to jot it
down in Bugzilla.

Of course, with trivial things like e.g. sequence::get_buffer(), feel free
to check in one-liners like these, the ChangeLog should be enough of a
record of the change.

Thanks, I just wish I had the time (and, some days, the inspiration) to
work on this as much as I want to.

Bye,
