David, I responded to an earlier email:
================================== I think there are several methods we can support for development. 1) Simple bug fixes/features sent directly to edk2-devel for PRs. 2) A larger or more complex bug fix/feature can optionally post a link to a branch on personal github fork to help simplify the review process for those reviewers that prefer to use that method. This type of bug fix or feature is usually owned by a single subject matter expert. 3) A larger or more complex feature that requires design/dev/test by more than one subject matter expert. We already support (1) and (2) today. Feature branches on edk2-staging are intended for (3). I can think of a couple ways we end up in (3). The first is a feature we know requires multiple subject matter experts and the request is made to add to edk2-staging from the beginning. The second is a PR that is sent to edk2-devel, and the community believes it needs more design/dev/test work that requires cooperation of multiple subject matter experts and the PR is re-directed to a feature branch in edk2-staging. ================================== Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: edk2-devel [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David > Woodhouse > Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2016 2:05 PM > To: Mangefeste, Tony <[email protected]>; [email protected] > <edk2- > [email protected]> > Subject: Re: [edk2] EDK2 Staging Proposal 3rd draft, final? > > On Wed, 2016-03-16 at 20:17 +0000, Mangefeste, Tony wrote: > > > > Here's the 3rd iteration based on your input.
