For at least the entire month of November I'll be dedicated to this task and we won't be rotating people on a weekly basis. Our hope is that a dedicated person increases overall pull request throughput by reducing the context switching associated with rotating team members into this position. Initially, I'm going to focus on making sure as many open pull requests and issues have clear "next actions." If it's not clear what the next action is, then there's a good chance the pull request will get stuck in limbo. Our intent is that someone will remain dedicated to community pull requests beyond November and that there may be more than one person dedicated to this task. I can't really commit to this beyond November but for at least the next month there's a person dedicated to this work. -Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
