Hi Ruediger,
Hm. I see no backport proposal for this in the STATUS file for 2.0.x.
For formal reasons please add one. I would be +1 as well.
sorry, but unfortunately that's not possible since 2.2.x and later do
not have this file any longer - so there's no real backport proposal
possible....
therefore I dont know how I should express the proposal ...?
There's really no difference between STATUS, and on list discussion.
The advantage to STATUS is reminding people to review over the long
haul, the advantage to the list is collecting a quick three votes
(when folks are paying attention).
I disagree with Ruediger that any extra STATUS step is really needed.
Well, for the RM, it's easier to go through STATUS and make
sure all is set then sifting through the various Email lists :)
Of course!!! The point I made was that STATUS is a great *tool*
to ensure things are seen by your fellow committers, an RM and
so forth. If something needs to happen, it better be in STATUS.
You can do the same on-list, but don't holler at an RM when it's
missed because you didn't follow things through to conclusion ;-)
