This doesn't mean that we think your problem is unimportant -- just that in the
limited time we have available, we will always err on the side of making 10
people happy rather than making a single person happy.
I'm sure my ticket is absolutely 100% perfect, can I mark it as "Ready For Checkin" myself?

Sorry, no. It's always better to get another set of eyes on a ticket. If

* **Be patient**
It's not always easy for your ticket or your patch to be reviewed quickly.
This isn't personal. There are a lot of tickets and pull requests to get
through.
Keeping your patch up to date is important. Review the ticket on Trac to
ensure that the *Needs tests*, *Needs documentation*, and *Patch needs
improvement* flags are unchecked once you've addressed all review comments.
Remember that Django has an 8 month release cycle, so there's plenty of time
for your patch to be reviewed.
Finally, a well-timed reminder can help. See :ref:`contributing code FAQ
<new-contributors-faq>` for ideas here.

FAQ

1. **This ticket I care about has been ignored for days/weeks/months! What can
I do to get it committed?**
First off, it's not personal. Django is entirely developed by volunteers
(except the Django fellow), and sometimes folks just don't have time. The
best thing to do is to send a gentle reminder to the |django-developers|
mailing list asking for review on the ticket, or to bring it up in the
``#django-dev`` IRC channel.
2. **I'm sure my ticket is absolutely 100% perfect, can I mark it as RFC
myself?**
Short answer: No. It's always better to get another set of eyes on a
ticket. If you're having trouble getting that second set of eyes, see
question 1, above.
