Hi, when we develop code in OpenBSD, we have the choice of reviewing or sharing our patches privately between individual developers, on an internal list, or here on tech@.
>From https://www.openbsd.org/mail.html: tech Discussion of technical topics for OpenBSD developers and advanced users. This is not a "tech support" forum; do not use it as such. OpenBSD developers will often make patches to implement new features and other important changes available for public testing through this list. When I share code on tech@ it is intended to be reviewed and tested by the wider community, not just developers. I'm writing this mail because I get a lot of cheerful feedback about some features, like the recent httpd rewrite support, but almost no feedback on tech@ itself. In the rewrite case, people were asking me in private emails, on github, on Twitter: "Where is the feature?" or "Why does it take so long to review?". Despite the fact that the latter made me angry, you're not my customer and this is voluntary work, I have the following request: Please read tech@, test diffs, share your thoughts (but keep the noise on misc@). Don't be shy: tech is NOT a list that is only for OpenBSD developers. If you're reading this list you're probably already an "advanced user" - so take some time and give us your feedback! Thanks! Reyk
