If the changeset that you are committing has a associated tracker issue, make sure it is mentioned in the log message. It is conventional to start log messages with "Issue #NNNN:". On the tracker, make sure that the issue is properly classified as a feature requests and closed after the commit. If it is a bug fix and needs to be backported, the issue should stay open until the backports are done. _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers
