Therefore, I'd like to move to a model where we mandate pull

Hi Lucas,

I'm confused.  How would you provide feedback on a pull request?

So if I wanted to review someone's patches, I assume the new model is:

- I pull that person's 'pull request'
- review it offline
- to provide feedback, I ????

Not quite. The pull request is public, on the github page, you can look at it in your browser, then you can click on any line of the patches and write comments there (to write comments, you must be logged to your github account). All the contributors, and people following autotest on github get emails notifying of the new comment. Those people can then write additional comments, just like on a mail thread, only there is a single view of the entire discussion. Take for example:

https://github.com/autotest/virt-test/pull/242

The interesting part is that this entire pull request can be seen in patch format

https://github.com/autotest/virt-test/pull/242.patch

So in fact, this already happens in all projects, it's just that we don't mandate it so far. I assume you never saw these in action before, right?

Let me know what you think.

Lucas
