What this really boils down to is the same as in another thread recently -
committers are a scarce resource, and so the submitter needs to do what he
can to make the most efficient use of the resource (if he or she wants to
get his change committed in a timely fashion). We've had some good
suggestions here - the best thing would be to write up something for the
handbook on "How to make the best use of FreeBSD committers to get changes
applied", as Jordan has already suggested.
