gerritt is pretty amazing. after you upload a patch, the whole life cycle of review, verification, and committer committing can happen on the web. in practice it means that reviewing and committing small correct changes becomes two clicks of a button. but, this is not what i'm proposing. talking with pat there is no clear way to get gerritt setup. kudo uses it, but it's a one off that we can't really leverage.
in moving to git we can enable more flexible workflows that get us closer to the benefits of using something like gerritt. for example, other apache projects use workflows that allows patch uploads and reviewing to happen as git pull requests. i realize it is subjective, which is why it's good that others share their opinions; in my experience working on a variety of different projects with different contribution systems, i've found that the jira based patch uploading to be cumbersome for the contributor, reviewer, and committer. even just the simple start of moving to git and accepting github pull requests as a method of contribution will improve things a lot. as far as who does the work: pat mentioned that he has looked into this and has the skillz to make it happen. ben On Mon, Aug 29, 2016 at 7:33 AM, Flavio Junqueira <[email protected]> wrote: > I also don't know what's being proposed here exactly.
