No, not currently. I usually go to the web interface and
look at the open bugs, process new ones that can be handled
quickly, or try to assign them to an expert on the specific
area.
There are a lot more areas than we have experts - in these
cases I try to work on the ticket myself. This, and the
low quality of some of the submissions, consumes a
considerable amount of time.
Good point. I am the defacto "expert" for Cygwin/XFree86, considering
that I have been contributing to the project for 3 years now and leading
the project for going on 2 years.
You might think that I should therefore be able to commit my own patches
that were Cygwin-specific, but that is not the case.
I do not think that Egbert should have to be burdened with committing
Cygwin-specific patches.
Can I please finally be given CVS commit access with the understanding
that I am a moron and that I will only commit things that are
Cygwin-specific, with all other non-Cygwin-specific patches sent via
bugs.xfree86.org? At the first sign of my veering off course you could
feel free to revoke my access. I think I have already proven that I am
dedicated to the XFree86 project and that I am knowledgible enough to
know where the line is between patches for my own platform and patches
that may break the build on other platforms.
Thanks,
Harold
