If we were talking about people for whom this was their job, I would agree that they were being way slow, but we're talking about a group of volunteers who're cramming this into their free time along with all their other obligations. In that situation, it sometimes takes as long as it takes.

    I'm not saying that they aren't working hard, might be some other circumstances are preventing them from re-deploying/fixing it, in my experience with infrastructure work cutting single task into smaller chunks staggered over time actually makes it harder.

    Again there are probably other factors there and it's not simple 're-deploy older version' kind of task.
