It just makes things more transparent. It allows a submitter to have a web interface to view the state of a patch: accepted, rejected, under review. Allows a maintainer or a group of maintainers to see the backlog and assign (delegate) patches between them. It also automates the collection of Acked-by, Reviewed-by, etc tags. > But I don't think much of the idea of delegation. =A0I don't see a th= riving > developer community full of people who want work delegated to them. So I only meant "delegate" in the Patchwork parlance to make "who is merging this md/mdadm patch" clear as the apprentice ramps up. But this is probably too much mechanics. It simply sounds like you want a similar situation like what happened with git. I.e. a "Junio" to take over but you'll still be around to course correct and send patches. -- Dan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
