Hi Peter, I want to apologize if it seemed that I asked you to hold back on any effort, especially some not directly related to day-to-day tasks, I did not mean anything like that. [...] That said, of course it would be great if more developers try the new submit strategy and see how they feel

Hi Martin and Peter, sure, I can let other developers with submit right try out the new submit strategy and not submit anything that's not directly related to what I'm working on right now. I mainly started looking through the submittable patches and submit them when I don't spot anything

Felix,   If you've formed an opinion, maybe you want to take a break from submitting for a bit to let others test out the new submission strategy? For everyone else, I'd like to note that over the past year, Felix has hit submit on more than 45% of all of the coreboot patches that have been

Hi Peter, By "keep an overview" I mean to know which commits in a pushed branch that have been reviewed and which not. Ah, ok; I'd assume that Gerrit won't allow pushing a series of patches if one patch in there doesn't have +2 and +1 verified yet. Haven't verified this though. I'm all

Hi, I reread the documentation and the thing I missed in there is that Gerrit will only automatically rebase a patch when submitting when none of the files it changed have been changed between the parent commit of the to be submitted patch and the current top of tree. At least this explains

Hi Peter, I definitely want to submit a patch train patch by patch and not just the last submittable patches including all patches before to make sure that I looked at each individual patch when submitting. Maybe the patch train is too long if it becomes hard to keep an overview? I'd say

Hi Patrick, When going through the list of submittable patches i ran into a two problems and also got a question: When a patch before other patches gets abandoned, those patches can no longer be submitted. Example: CB:66324 When submitting the first patch of a patch series, somehow the

Hi Peter! Hmm, I'm not sure about that? I understand the effective difference with the new strategy to merely be that a later commit in a pushed changeset/branch can't be submitted before an earlier one. That is my understanding of this too. What I wanted to point out in my last email is

Hi, even though I'm not completely convinced that the advantages of this new submit strategy will outweigh the disadvantages for me, I agree that it would be good to try the always rebase strategy for a month and see how well it'll work in practice. Having a commit queue or even running a
