Description Dave Neary 2004-08-09 14:32:11 UTC 
Sometimes the approach in a patch is just plain wrong, or someone adds a patch
to a bug which is WONT-FIX, or the maintainer and patch submitter agree that the
patch is not the way to go, and some unspecified future vapourware will allow
people to do things "the Right Way". 

In those cases, it would be nice to have a patch review keyword which said
"Thanks, but no thanks", rather than givinbg the impression that if the patch
were improved it would be accepted. Sometimes patches are just plain rejected. 

Do people think this would be a good idea?

Dave.

Sounds good to me.  Luis, Andrew: okay if I add such a status?

Added.  And d-d-l has been spammed about it
(http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-August/msg00349.html).  :-)
