Branch management was always the most time consuming part of committing, even under HG. But github has clearly made it worse. Personally I doubt I'm going to do any backports if I'm required to go visit some web pages to do it. That doesn't matter much, since I don't have much time for contribution and have done very few checkins in a good while (even before the switch). But Brett was hoping that github would make it *easier* to get stuff merged, and from my perspective that is only true for doc fixes (which, granted, is a help :), while making it harder for code fixes. So, I think the backport-bot should probably be the top priority of whoever has time to work on this (which, unfortunately, is not me :( Being able to backport without going through the PR process would also make sense to me (and I thought we were going to be able to do that), but I'm not involved enough in the conversations to know the downsides of that. --David _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
