There are also some "dashboards" (mostly just saved filters, in list view) here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ARROW/Dashboards They're not great either, but at least they can give us some common views to pay attention to. Neal On Fri, May 31, 2019 at 5:56 AM Wes McKinney wrote:

One of the aspects of the problem is that our tools (Github, JIRA) don't allow us to work with categories easily. Regards Antoine. Le 30/05/2019 à 15:59, Wes McKinney a écrit : > They're complementary. At least in the short term the spreadsheet can > help us get our current backlog under cont

They're complementary. At least in the short term the spreadsheet can help us get our current backlog under control. I'd like to at least be thinking about tools that can help us when patch volume inevitably grows to 2-3 times the current level. On Thu, May 30, 2019 at 12:28 AM Micah Kornfield wr

That sounds great Wes, than you and your team for taking it on. Can you clarify, if you would prefer this approach to the one I proposed above (i.e. should I delete the spreadsheet) or are they complementary? Thanks, Micah On Wed, May 29, 2019 at 12:07 PM Wes McKinney wrote: > On the call toda

I agree on hand curation for now. I'll try to setup a sign up spreadsheet for shepherding old PRs and once that done assign reviewers/ping old PRs. I expect to have something to share by the weekend. On Tuesday, May 21, 2019, Wes McKinney wrote: > I think maintainers or contributors should be

I think maintainers or contributors should be responsible for closing PRs, it also helps with backlog curation (sometimes when a stale PR is closed the JIRA may also be closed if it's a Won't Fix) On Tue, May 21, 2019 at 1:12 PM Antoine Pitrou wrote: > > > > Le 21/05/2019 à 20:02, Neal Richardson

hi Micah, This sounds like a reasonable proposal, and I agree in particular for regular contributors that it makes sense to close PRs that are not close to being in merge-readiness to thin the noise of the patch queue We have some short-term issues such as various reviewers being busy lately (e.g

Our backlog of open PRs is slowly creeping up. This isn't great because it allows contributions to slip through the cracks (which in turn possibly turns off new contributors). Perusing PRs I think things roughly fall into the following categories. 1. PRs are work in progress that never got com
