The intent of the decision policy was to provide the editor with sufficient opportunity to resolve issues, not to create a bottleneck. Bugs that no one is worried about can stay in the Editor's queue. Individuals can request expedition of individual items. To the extent that the the editor can process such requests expeditiously, everybody benefits. This is still the case. The backlog of bugs has increased in each of the last three months(*). We also have an agreement with the editor on timeframes. This bug exceeds such timeframes, has been requested for expedition, and a rationale for the expedition request has been provided. And yet, to date, no call for proposals has yet been issued. Should the editor continue to be unable to get to this bug, it is conceivable that one could be issued. We will deal with that eventuality if and when it becomes necessary, but worst case, some efforts proceed in parallel, Ian is provided with a complete change proposal as input. At no time is amicable resolution excluded as a potential outcome. - Sam Ruby (*) And, yes, backlogs are increasing elsewhere.
