Zubin has already kindly volunteered; if a second review is needed, I also 
don't mind taking a look - though I might need some context.

Thanks Zubin.

And to re-iterate on what Simon said, I will cheerfully have a discussion with 
anyone who needs context for these.

Feel free to assign me for reviews.

Admittedly only one reviewer requested, and he is always busy, and I do not

Re: "Merge-buddy" request

2023-10-27 Thread Simon Peyton Jones
I hope someone responds to Alan's call.   Simplifying exact-print
annotations is a noble goal, and Alan has been working hard on it.

I hope someone feels able to support him.  I don't think you need to be an
exact-print expert. I'm sure Alan would be happy to teach you.  And that
learning journey might be very useful in itself, because it'll tell you
want extra documentation (especially overview notes) is needed.

Big thanks to Alan

Simon

"Merge-buddy" request

2023-10-26 Thread Alan & Kim Zimmerman
Hi all

I have been landing a series of MRs to simplify the exact print annotations.
They are split into pieces so each change is not too big.
I still have quite a number of them to land, but am finding the process
slow, as I

- make the MR
- wait for CI to go green
- wait for a review, or ping people on chat to do the review
- once approved, land it.

I don't want to loudly shout for reviewers each time, and become a general
irritant.

Is there anyone (ideally with an interest in the exact print annotations)
that would like to be my "merge buddy" that I can easily ask to do the
reviews?

I am happy for each one to take a couple of days, so it is not a high
pressure thing, I just want to get into a cadence on them.

My current one is https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/11496.
Admittedly only one reviewer requested, and he is always busy, and I do not
want to make him even more so.
