Well you'd need to have a developer account first of course (which comes from
submitting patches, which you've done, and having them applied, which we have
not helped you with :-/)
Also, when replying to mails on the mailing lists it is considered much more
polite to avoid "top-posting" (i.e. if you're replying to something, quote it
first, then make your response). I know that GMail/Outlook/etc. default to
doing it wrong, so if you use those you'll just have to get used to it I
guess. :-/
As far as reviews goes, sometimes you have to be persistent. It's like this
on most any open-source project I've watched, especially an issue for kde-
multimedia given that we're pretty much all doing this in our spare time with
"real jobs" that take first priority. I know that my personal filing system is
not good enough to keep track of patches that I thought were interesting 4
weeks ago when I didn't have time, so sometimes you'll have to re-submit. Of
course should you get past the "I have a patch" process and start doing
Phonon/kde-multimedia work yourself then you'll be able to do progressively
harder tasks with less review necessary as your level of knowledge grows.
I hope this helps. In short: Just submit the patch, worry about whether it
will get reviewed or not after it's submitted. ;)
Also don't be afraid to hop onto IRC (irc.freenode.org). #kde-devel is used
for general KDE *development* questions. There is #kde-multimedia as well,
and #amarok is probably the single largest user of KDE multimedia frameworks
so they may be able to help you out with their experience as well.
