I think we want to keep things as simple, yet organized. Assigning issues to oneself is really useful for issues that require more time, so it's clear who's working on them. I probably made a mistake assigning myself that one issue just to commit it. I wanted to signal I'd take care of it, but I should have really just committed the patch and marked the issue resolved. That is how we have been working so far, and it has worked for us, so I don't think we need to change that. Hadoop developers have a pretty elaborate JIRA workflow with a number of specific states, but I think they need that because Hadoop is still in a rapid development mode. Lucene is in a different life stage. I'm really talking about issue assignment part of the workflow here. "Patch available" is handy.

Otis was getting ready to commit a patch I had shepherded through and assigned the issue to himself in the process. This is what's always been done in the past, but in the past committers and developers/contributors were pretty much synonymous. Since that's not the case now, I'd suggest it's reasonable for a committer to commit w/o changing the assignee, only changing the state to resolved. Facilitates communication on issues that might arise later and helps gauge individual involvement. I suppose there's the possibility that two committers might be looking at committing something at the same time, though I think comments cover that? Seem reasonable? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
