Re: [RFC]: Patch to support Fortran derived type - Revised

[Wu Zhou <woodzltc at cn dot ibm dot com>]

By the way, anyone has any idea or comments about the patch?  I am more 
than happy to improve it if you have any idea. 

According to the new maintenance policy, how long should I ping for my 
un-reviewed patch.  If it still gets no reply in a specified time, is 
there anything I can do to get some attention, escalate this to the SC or 
anything else?

P.S: I am asking this because I don't have any knowledge about them ever 
since I join in the GDB community.  I think other new members might also 
feel this way.  Someone ever told me to wait for one or two weeks.  But 
I am not sure.  

Regards
