It's a month now since I sent three patches to this list for reducing memory consumption of Gitk considerably:

https://public-inbox.org/git/2cb7f76f-0004-a5b6-79f1-9bb4f979cf14@jump-ing.de/
Everybody cheered, but apparently nobody picked these patches up and applied them to either the Git or Gitk repository. They don't appear in the regular "what's cooking" post either.
The "What's cooking" email is done by Junio (the Git maintainer)
describing the development of Git, whereas gitk is maintained by Paul
if I understand correctly.
If you look at the Git history, the changes to gitk-git/ always come in via
a merge/pull from Paul.
Anything missing? I'd like to put a 'done' checkmark behind this.
I'd love to see those patches in use here (via a regular upstream update).
So I guess the way to go for you is to keep bugging Paul for an ack?
Thanks,
Stefan

TBH, there might be no Gitk maintenance at all, because the last commit in either repository dates February 2016. It's a bit hard to believe there was not a single contribution in 10 months.

Like:
Hey hey Paul!
Come and get the goal!
Fetch the patch and get applied
to our all's delight!
or like
Macke- Macke- Mackerras!
Come here and join with us!
It's just a simple 'git am'
and you are the man!
Another encouraging poem?
Markus
