Comment:
Hello Nathann,
I had troubles with trac once more, I did not accept my answers, so I
shortened them until I could press the submit button. So I try not to use
the reply function, perhaps then trac will accept longer answers.
You are right, I am not sure whether I understand your first suggestion.
My understanding from the sage-devel thread is that the release manager
merges a certain number of positive_review tickets into his private
develop branch, runs some tests, and if those pass, he then closes the
tickets without looking at them again. This may take several hours.
If he'd look at the ticket again and would see a mismatch, he'd have to
repeat the whole procedure, and this might lead to an infinite loop. And
in his words, "Having the release manager chase after branches as people
keep adding stuff after review is not a sustainable workflow".
Concerning your second point: *I* do not insist on changing the rules. I
have opened a sage-devel thread, linked above. Several suggestions, some
of them similar to yours, have been made by several people, but the
release manager did not show any indication of changing his point of view
that a ticket with positive review must not be changed.
I think that the issue has to be resolved as the 7 tickets show.
Therefore, as the easiest solution, I propose this ticket.
