Fw: Burst filter

I sent this message regarding a code contribution a little over a week ago and haven't received any feedback.� Is this still the correct mailing list for contributions?

A long while back I submitted a code contribution to be considered for log4j 1.2.� It's a filter to regulate logging traffic bursts.� It's useful for situations where you may want to limit the number of logging messages that are sent to an appender, i.e. when the database goes down you don't want 2 million e-mail logs taking out the mail server.� I received a response requesting I change the name to something like BurstFilter, a good suggestion indeed.� Sadly it's taken me a year to get around to this but I finally have.� It looks like no further development is planned for 1.2 except for bug fixes and minor enhancements.� Is this feature small enough to be considered a minor enhancement or should I submit the filter for 2.0?

Thanks,
Chad

Yes, but entering it in Bugzilla (http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla)  
is preferred.  Many mailing list archives do not retain the  
attachments, so an Bugzilla entry from you with the source code  
attached has a better audit trail.  You do have to first create the  
issue and then subsequently make the attachments.

As for feedback, the previous weekend was a holiday in the US which  
may explain why your contribution didn't get much attention.
