Hi everyone,
In the Parquet sync-up today, we were talking about how to keep up with
bugs and patches. The idea is that we don't want to scramble getting
them all done in the weeks before a release. That delays our releases
and doesn't get back to contributors soon enough, while they are most
likely to continue contributing.
I think one way to avoid the problem is to sign up for triaging issues
and contributions on a weekly schedule. The person who is signed up
would watch for bug reports and contributions for a week and make sure
it gets addressed. That could mean fixing small bugs or finding the
right person to do a review and getting confirmation they are looking at
it. We should also be sure to mark issues in JIRA so we know what are
release blockers as they come in.
I think a weekly rotation can be a good way to make sure this gets done,
but it depends on having volunteers that like the idea and would sign up.
What does everyone think? Would you sign up for one week every 2 months
or so?
