This sounds a lot like another large scale project we all know of ".... has long since grown to a size where no single developer could possibly inspect and select every patch unassisted. The way the ... developers have addressed this growth is through the use of a lieutenant system built around a chain of trust. The ... code base is logically broken down into a set of subsystems: ... Most subsystems have a designated maintainer, a developer who has overall responsibility for the code within that subsystem. These subsystem maintainers are the gatekeepers (in a loose way) for the portion of the .... they manage." I wonder if we can adopt the rolling development model as well? https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/development-process/2.Process > Thanks, > Kyle > > [1] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/178846/ > [2] > http://docs.openstack.org/developer/neutron/policies/core-reviewers.html > > __________________________________________________________________________ > OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) > Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe > http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev > >
