I do share the sentiment; still "old patches" are a very different beast. The current email focuses on fresh contributors still "available" (even if it was a one-time drive-by contribution), in combination with ideas like https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T73357 (Gerrit Welcome Bot). So I'd be open but I currently don't think it's the best use of (my) time, also as I am not sure how to easily gather that list & which criteria to apply. Plus it should likely be a separate email. We currently list "Oldest open Gerrit changesets without code review" on http://korma.wmflabs.org/browser/scr-backlog.html [1]. But that page does not exclude "Cannot merge / needs rebase" items. List of open MediaWiki Core patches without any code review: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/status:open+project:%5Emediawiki/core+AND+label:Code-Review%3D0,n,z Cheers, andre [1] (that korma.wmflabs.org page is to be replaced by https://wikimedia.biterg.io/app/kibana#/dashboard/Gerrit-Backlog at some point in the future. All still very beta.) -- Andre Klapper | Wikimedia Bugwrangler http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
