That is Rusty Burchfield. I believe he was working on this a little bit at the SF hackathon.

He's referring to "[Wikitech-l] Patch backlog automation" from November, I believe: > Basically I fetch pages with curb(libcurl) and pull out what I need with > nokogiri(libxml2) and some css selectors.

Mark says: > Ideally, I would like to have this integrated into a Bugzilla (which > would mean Perl, probably) or Gerrit (which would mean Java or, maybe, > JRuby). Given that we currently have about 130 patches awaiting review on MediaWiki core, and about 60 for extensions that WMF deploys (some going back years), I think it's going to make a big difference to surface those and put them into the same dashboard that reviewers use to see all the pending pull requests. So if Rusty or another contributor has time to work on this, I think it would have a dramatic effect on our patch backlog. -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
