reporters are notified, that's right But what if <reporter>=<patch publisher>? Then someone still needs to review.

There are a lot, but most can be safely skipped by subject. > > geir > > Sian January wrote: > > Hi, > > I have just discovered that it's not possible for a contributor to > > set > > "Patch available" on a JIRA unless they reported it.
