Hello folks,
As a maintainer, you may not have time to look at all the review
requests to determine which ones touch your component. There are certain
Gerrit features that will help solve this problem.
It is useful to watch projects so you can receive notifications. You can
configure your settings so you get an email if change has modified files
in certain folders or even down to a particular file.
You can also setup custom dashboards that are linked from Gerrit when
you login. This is useful if you need to visit a particular link on
Gerrit frequently.
I've distilled the instructions down to this wiki page:
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/wiki/Gerrit-for-Maintainers
<https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/wiki/Gerrit-for-Maintainers>
Test drive complete, and things work well, thanks Nigel.
Want to echo Amar's statement that as maintainers using such a dashboard
can go a long way to making sure we are keeping cleaner backlog lanes
across components.
I would like to take (hijack) this opportunity to remind of other
dashboards that we already have (thanks to Nigel) here [1] for release
related backlog queues.
Also, as release nears feature freeze the gerrit query to focus on the
features awaiting reviews. (this is usually [2] unless others have
better ideas on creating a dashboard for the same). This one is again
key and is in focus for about 1-3 weeks during a release, and would be
immensely helpful if maintainers keep a watch on this through the
release announcements.
