What is the normal wait time for a pull request to be accepted (or rejected)?
So in the spirit of open source, I decided to walk the walk and fix some minor annoyances and bugs in Umbraco 4.7. After 2 months my pull request was not yet being evaluated. After tweeting @umbraco about it the status moved quickly to "Being evaluated". It's still being evaluated, 4 months since submitting, hopefully they will land in 4.7.2.
Q1: Is there going to be improvements to this process in 2012? I hesitate to 'sell' Umbraco on the merit of it being open source and accepting contributions. I'm fine with using Umbraco v5 in the future (it seems really solid), and developing packages for our company, our customers and the community. But when it comes to adding to or fixing the core, is forking + tracking a better alternative?
Q2: How much of this is due to the fact that the Codeplex website is just generally not that good? If that's the issue, when can we expect the source to move to GitHub? If it does, what are some thoughts about Git vs Mercurial? TortoisHg is pretty good, is TortoiseGit as easy?

PS. I realize I could have made more contributions in the mean time, it's just that there were no Umbraco projects for me personally since November.
