T= his may not be of consequence if thre is just one pull request to look at= =2E But it's not uncommon to have half a dozen such pull requests after a= suite passed. When the person reads her/his mail, a few are addressed an= d more often than not the rest is postponed for when there is time.=20 Only they don't show up anywhere in the person list of TODO things, there= fore it's frequent that we have to send a reminder. Instead, it's probabl= y easier on everyone if we assign the pull request to the person next to = act in that specific case. It's not something I usually do for pull reque= sts that are assigned to me, because it's the best way for me to complete= ly forget about such pull requests. But in this case, since each pull req= uest is linked to an issue and since we scrub these issues at least on a = weekly basis, there is no risk of us forgetting. What do you think ? Cheers P.S. I did that for all pending hammer pull requests, we'll see if that i= mproves things ;-) [1] http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph-releases/wiki/HOWTO_merge_commi= ts_from_the_integration_branch --- Lo=C3=AFc Dachary, Artisan Logiciel Libre --Ui6DW2bgD4MRlQFM0bNpcKqbI1R9osDAd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlXstGEACgkQ8dLMyEl6F205VQCeNBgs/WB6afnRdwJGOa1Kf/cL JBEAoJlDcgqcglw+U34O1258O2CwYryV =dvS4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Ui6DW2bgD4MRlQFM0bNpcKqbI1R9osDAd--
