Btw. regarding the time component. Given how much commits I see that fix something, I'd expect your development to go much faster if you'd introduce new developers into coreboot (or C or whatever) first, and focus more on reviewing. Basically, I see many people buzzing around doing the job that a single one could do if he wasn't busy reviewing nonsense. Long story short, I think Intel, and maybe Google too, has big management issues. It feels like we are back in the '90s when people thought you could quicken development by putting more people into a team.
Let me see if I can understand your assertion:
1. development goes much faster if reviews are focused on. You are suggesting people aren't reviewing patches? Reviews enable faster development? I'm not following such logic. I'm also not sure what you mean by "you". Me, specifically? 2. Instead of focusing on reviewing the reviewer could write the code themselves? How do those 2 sentiments jive?
There's imperfect information/knowledge that slowly focuses over time with improved documentation, etc. There's also teams of people who start an effort way before others get involved. I agree things are not perfect, but again, you seem to be coming from a "I am better. I know better. Why doesn't everyone do things the way I want?" approach. It's very immature tbh.
The reality is that we aren't just dealing with a single platform. We deal with multiple designs in parallel while bootstrapping a chipset. That's a lot details and moving pieces. Some of the approaches are in the guise of saving duplication. Things can certainly be improved, but I don't think your current tactic is making the current working relationship better within the community at large.
Also, if you have too tight schedules, that's a communication issue inside your companies.
I one day hope to work in such a perfect situation as yourself.
