Hello Ubuntu Quality Team,
If you have been a member of the Ubuntu Development Team (or if you
have been subscribed to the ubuntu-devel mailing list) you will know
that Ubuntu Development has a system called "Patch pilots". Look at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/CodeReviews?action=show&redirect=PatchPilot#Patch_Pilots
for a better introduction.
Basically, one pilot (or two if possible) stands on guard at certain
times, and helps developers who doesn't have upload permissions to
upload their packages upon review.
This might work for them - though I'd have no idea if it actually _does_
- not sure how many people in QA could be set to this. I know I can't
set aside specific times to do anything.
Do they have a team made up of a a small number like the QA team?
To make sensible decisions based on some other group of people, I'd need
to see various stats to contrast.
This might be a good idea for our team to implement. We can have
people to get their testcases (no matter Autopliot or autopkgtest or
manual) reviewed and merged.
Not really sure what would be gained by adding another level of intricacy.
The "testcase pilots" should be people from the Ubuntu Testcase Admins
Team in Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-testcase
<https://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-testcase>), and maybe the Canonical
Platform QA Team members.
Who are the Canonical Platform QA Team members?
You might wonder how to update the topic of our IRC channel at
#ubuntu-quality and at #ubuntu-autopilot. Well, as I can see in
#ubuntu-devel, patch pilots do have a process to automatically check
in using a bot. I think if everyone agrees to this plan, we can ask
the development team on how do they implement it.
What does this have to do with the rest of the mail?
This is just a suggestion, and feedback is welcome from everyone.
Do have a think of it:)
Best wishes,
Howard Chan (smartboyhw)
