Hi everybody, tl,dr: I'm deprecating Mantis and Gerrit in favor of GitHub.
Over the years, I've introduced a couple of techniques to simplify contributing to collectd, for example Mantis, a bug tracking tool, Gerrit, a code review utility, the wiki, a GitHub mirror, and so on. However, this diversity has had a generally harmful effect in that people created bugs, sometimes with patches attached, that I didn't notice for months. So in an attempt to clean up this mess, I'm now officially deprecating Mantis and Gerrit in favor of "Issues" and "Pull Requests" (PR) on GitHub. You can find these at: Issues: https://github.com/collectd/collectd/issues Pull Requests: https://github.com/collectd/collectd/pulls Issues and Pull Requests (PRs) provide only basic functionality, but I'll argue that overall this is a good thing. Mantis had a plethora of fields and status, making it impossible for the majority of users to understand how this is all supposed to work [*]. And Gerrit has not been able to get rid of its Rietveld roots and work with a _distributed_ SCM; not to mention either project's UI. I'll work on moving bugs and patches to GitHub as time permits. Please feel free to help out and move stuff over, it'll certainly expedite the process. Best regards, —octo [*] I recall the Mantis developers arguing over what the "correct" way of using the "feedback" status was. -- collectd – The system statistics collection daemon Website: http://collectd.org Google+: http://collectd.org/+ GitHub: https://github.com/collectd Twitter: http://twitter.com/collectd
