I don't know about this

With proper communication, probably enough to make it worth.

I think it is worth it especially for the 3 first minor releases when master is 
only in the making and not really worth testing.

- One thing I noted is that some regressions in stable come from devels pushing 
things they should not push. So I would suggest more information to devels 
about the 4.10 branch (some new devels backport stuff they should not). Not 
sure how to do this.
- Reinforce the review process. Albert recently sent a mail saying that lots of 
patches stay unreviewed on reviewboard which is true. It's bad for people doing 
the effort to make a patch and it's bad for KDE because things are not fixed. 
I'd like the reviews to be effectively tried and not only the patch approved by 
the look of it. 
- Make the devels aware of Jenkins and have them check if stuff still builds as 
expected after committing (it happened that build problems were big problems in 
some releases, even minor!) I don't really know about Jenkins but it seems to 
me that devels are not really using it.


Best regards,

Anne-Marie
