48 hours?

Man, when I sent in my first PR, I waited nine frikkin months to have it
handled.

When I joined the project, you was lucky to fit into 3 months.
Repocopy took a month just to get an ack from the repomeister.
Admins needed six weeks to create my freefall account. And when they
finally managed, I found myself stuck in the release freeze size of
Alaska!

You boys have it all sweets and easy today.
