Hi, I am wondering if we can do anything about the large number of outstanding gerrit patches? There are patches up to a year old and also quite some patches that already have +1's, -1's but without any further activity. And finally there are some patches where the patch creator does not seem to respond anymore to fix the last nits.
If I decide to review something then I naturally take something from the first page, maybe the second, but I constantly feel bad about all the other patches lying around. On the other hand I don't want to invest review time in patches that will be abandoned anyways because they are outdated or are just experiments. Not sure whats best to do, maybe everyone on the GWT team should revisit their old outstanding patches? Or maybe take 1-2 hours per week to exclusively review other peoples patches? Can experiments be put into a different view inside Gerrit so that people focusing on getting things reviewed for master are not distracted? Should GWT have a policy saying that everything older than x month without activity will be abandoned automatically? Can we somehow take ownership of patches in Gerrit if the original author does not respond anymore but the patch is almost done? Would be bad if Gerrit becomes the new old issue tracker but just for outstanding patches. -- J. -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Contributors" group.
