[Freeciv-Dev] Re: patches

["Ross W. Wetmore" <rwetmore@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The listing of recognized patches and status is very much appreciated.

I have no problem with any evaluations on those I am familiar with,
and nothing strikes me as unreasonable on any of the rest given the
various email discussions.

I also like the requested list of suggested patch/problem areas.

If you posted this on the Website, or emailed it to the group as a
weekly update, I don't think there would be any cause for angst or
complaint by most patch submitters.

Good post!

Cheers,
RossW
