* 2.7.5 release
We want to do another release soonish due to some pending security fixes. We're
not
sure the changes will be ready for next week, or whether we need another two
weeks.
Will need to reassess at the start of next week.
* Amount of open changes in the queue
Some discussion about the number of open patches (e.g. about 120 open changes
in
Gerrit). We definitely need to look into our processes again and how to spread
all
that work reviewing, testing, and integrating. Likely also a topic for the 2026
Community Meetup in Paderborn. djpig is working on better documenting the
current
processes, see e.g. #1776 ("Start a new document CODE_CHECKLIST") in Gerrit.
* Coordinating big changes
A related discussion is how to handle big changesets (e.g. currently the
multipeer
changes from plaisthos and the oob changes from lev). There was some
unhappiness
that these changesets are dropped without sufficient context and that makes it
hard
to keep track of all the developments. One advise is that developers that want
to
have big (or many) changes merged are encouraged to write a mail to the mailing
list to provide a "cover letter" for the patch set and a convenient place to
discuss the overall direction without getting bogged down in the discussion of
individual changes. We have lost this practice since not generally using
mail-based
patchsets anymore. That can be also a good opportunity to point out dicussions
happening in PRs for the RFC document.
