before applying a series in the foregejo system, it was a useful thing
in the ML workflow. Maybe some "auto-apply this in 1 day even if there
are no approvals" checkbox with mail notificaitons could work, and that
would also resolve the issue of self-approval.
That's not an option, but could be emulated with CI to some extend.
But generally if someone wants to insta-merge a PR, they can. Given they
could just push it manually.
Yeah, I know I can always push manually, it just more work than pressing a
simple button on the web UI. Also notifying the others that I intend to
push something soon (even if there are no approvals) is a feature which we
now miss.
- Bumping versions and final commit polishing is a bit tiresome with
foregjo. E.g. it would be nice if I could also edit the commit message,
not just the commit title in the web page...
I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to here.
Editing commit messages via Web UI? Where do you ever do that?
When applying other people's work, it is quite common that the patch is
good but the commit message is bad. It is less work for me to reword the
commit message (and apply the patch) instead of describing what need to be
changed. Yeah, I could pull the branch, fix the commit message, force push
it, and apply, but that is cumbersome... Forgejo already has the ability
to edit commit message title, so editing the commit message as well should
not be too hard.
- Pull requests show up on the mailing list but not force pushes, so
people only reading patches via email won't get notifications of new
versions.
That's an intentional decision. I could send mails for every single thing
that happens in a PR, but I opted not to to not completely flood the ML.
Force pushes to pull requests are like patch v2 / v3, etc. If we send the
original pull request as a patch to the ML, we should also send updated
patches to the ML.
