Hello, recently we have started using [tested by ..] in trac. This seems to have lead to some misunderstanding, see http://www.sagetrac.org/sage_trac/ticket/910 [but I have fixed that now, see check out the log toward the end]
The idea behind [tested by ...] is not that the original author of a patch tested it with "-testall" [that ought to be generally assumed I hope], but that it was tested with the combined other patches targeted for a particular milestone, in order to flush out side effects with the other patches. For 2.8.7 Carl Witty volunteered to do that, so that is why a lot of the patches for 2.8.7 carry the byline [tested by cwitty]. Hope that clears things up, I plan to spend at least some time during Bug Day 4 to get the text from my presentation about trac from SD5 ready for inclusion in the documentation. Does anybody have suggestions where this should go? At least some of it should end up in the wiki to have a page where I keep a log of what has been changed and updated.
