Hello Custodians and Mailing List Aficionados,
I don't know if anyone has noticed, but patchwork is starting to collect
a rather large amount of cruft.
I occasionally jump onto patchwork and do a little housekeeping by marking
updated patches as 'Superceeded' and anything applied by Wolfgang as
'Accepted' (There may be a few patches that have been applied to custodian
tress that I marked as 'Accepted' when really they should have been marked
as 'Awaiting Upstream')
I really don't mind doing this housekeeping, but I would like to make a
few suggestions that will make the work a little easier:
- If you are a custodian:
o When you apply a patch to your repo, can you please assign it to
yourself in patchwork and set it to 'Awaiting Upstream'
o Reply to the ML with 'Applied to <repo>/<branch>'
o When you send a pull request, create a bundle with all the patches
that are to be pulled (you can create the bundle early and add
patches as you apply them)
o When Wolfgang pulls your repo, go to the bundle and mark all the
patches 'Accepted'
- If you are a patch submitter:
o Visit http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/
o Search for your patches by following the 'Filters'link and entering
your name
o Send and email (with 'patchwork' somewhere in the subject) to the ML
with a list of patches that you submitted say more than one month
ago. For each patch, please indicate if the patch is:
* Superseded - By another patch (either by you or someone else)
* Not Applicable - The patch can be ignored (was an RFC, was due
to a misunderstanding, another patch did the same thing, etc)
* Applied - Has been applied (state the repo and branch)
* Rejected - Patch has been officially rejected
* Waiting - You believe the patch is still valid but has not been
applied (send a ping as a reply to the patch on the mailing list
as well
* Other - Please describe what state you feel the patch is in
Once I get the raw list down to a manageable level, I'll start to look at
the leftovers...
Regards,
"Your friendly Patchwork janitor" Graeme
