Not with the pull-request per se - AFACT that's a github-internal thingy. I did add a comment to the ticket | Comment 1 by pholzer, Nov 15, 2009 | | fix is now in | http://github.com/hjp/qpsmtpd/commit/5f02ea6ef1ee905bfc25ab18f3116749f61e0b1c | and I sent a pull request to abh. which was forwarded to <qpsmtpd-...@perl.org>, but not to <qpsmtpd@perl.org>. That's ok, I think, as long as the developers are actually subscribed to <qpsmtpd-...@perl.org>. But the only messages on this list in the last 6 months are a few commit messages from Ask (automatically generated by github) and my two messages regarding issue #29 (automatically sent by google). Am I the last one on this list? If so, we should probably declare qpsmtpd-dev dead. > I have observed that Ask is sometimes a bit slow to respond Yeah, I wasn't particularly worried when nothing happened within a week or two. But now it's been two months (but Ask hasn't committed anything since then so maybe he'll notice the outstanding request on his next commit - as you can see I'm not yet very familiar with git and github). > but I have not seen any list posts ignored. Yes, the list is ok. However, there are other communication channels, and we should be aware of them. When I open a ticket on Google Code and there is no reaction, I just ask on the list, no problem (for actual discussions, I prefer the list anyway). When a user opens a ticket and gets no response, they may falsely conclude that the project is dead or that the developers don't care about bug reports. Similarly, some time ago we decided to use git. Many of us have a repository on github, but I'm not sure which features of github are useful. So maybe those who have used github for more than 1 clone and 1 merge and a bit of clicking around and looking at pretty pictures (my amount of experience with github) how they use it and how they would like others to use it? hp -- _ | Peter J.
