Hi,
Looking at:
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Dev-f1639786.html
depending on time of day you find 50-90% patch mails on there. As the
writer of
mail forward I have been repeatedly asked if we can kill this spam.
I fully agree with this sentiment -- the dev-list should be taylored to
be
inviting to a wide audience of volunteer contributors and not only to
those
hardcore contributors who are full-time sponsored developers. I dont
think the
ESC is the right place to decide this as it is overwhelmingly filled
with the
second.
So, is there anyone who is _not_ a sponsored developer opposing to kill
the mail
spammage? If so:
As a non-sponsored(!) developer (?), I am not opposed to kill the gerrit
mail flow.
- could this be mitigated by a separate gerrit-patches mailing list?
- could this be mitigated by a daily digest of "gerrit news"?
- could this be mitigated by other means?
Yes, IMO, the goal is to have an overview of what was commited, so a daily
digest of *pushed* patches should be enough.
Although this kind of thing will narrow the reviewers list to commiters &
aked-for-review, which is almost the ESC & sponsored developers list.
So after small thinking, a daily digest with 2 parts: pushed patches and
yet-to-review patches, trying to increase peer reviewing by other devs.
I think the drowning of the list with automated patch mail is really
hurting us (as
did the patch mails before). Note that this does:
[SNIP]
+1, note included :)
I was forced to do the mail forward thingie to accomodate migration of
antiquiated workflows -- I was never very happy with it and really
embarrased
to defend it when I would have never done it like that myself.
Opinions?
Done
Best,
Not sur these are the best opnions, but, well, YMMV ;-)

Bjoern
