Junio C Hamano posted the Oct 2026 #09 edition of What's cooking in git.git. It opens with the usual explanation of the '+' and '-' markers: '+' marks commits in 'next', and '-' marks commits only in 'seen', which are not considered accepted.
The report then adds a note that is not boilerplate. Junio calls it highly unusual to have 120 topic merges between 'master' and 'seen', with only 40 of them in, or anywhere close to being in, 'next'.
The available excerpt breaks off at "Many…", so it does not show what Junio says about the other topics or what he asks contributors and reviewers to do. The message was the only one in the thread in the last day, and no replies are shown.
As the report's own preamble says, a topic without enough support may be discarded after a long period of no activity. It can be resubmitted when new interest arises.
