Quick Jira search reveals bugs I care about:
Basically, this is a result of a search of issues that
are reported by me, voted on my me or watched by me:
Maybe we can find a way to better mark "low-hanging fruit", i.e. use
JIRA labels to point out, which issues have patches attached and which
ones include tests and so on?
What about putting up a Wiki page with guidelines that patch writers
should stick to when they submit patches?
I think there are a lot of open issues with patches dangling around with
no committer taking care of them (not even by commenting on them or
requesting improvements). I find it quite annoying to find issues,
submitting patches and not getting them applied because (at least that's
what I suspect) they are to hard to find for people with commit access.
What do you think of the following (not necessarily in that order)
* Let's use the "patch" label for all issues that have a patch attached
* Find all issues that have an attachment but do not have the
"patch" label and assign it to them if the attachment is a patch
* Create the Wiki page with the patch guidelines and link it with JIRA
so that everybody who submits a patch will have to read it. Maybe
even post a comment with link to the page on all open issues with
patches
I think there's already a lot of improvement up to here. If you're a
committer and can't sleep at night, just filter for open issues with the
patch label.
Now for the time-consuming tasks:
* Go through the issues with the "patch" label, check if they contain
a test and apply the "contains-test" label
* Go through the issues with the "patch" label, check if the patch
applies cleanly to master and, if it doesn't, ask the committer to
rebase it and apply the "needs-rebase" label
I guess, some of this can be done by a script, at least the second task.
* Go through the issues that have the "patch" and "contains-test"
labels but not the "needs-rebase" label and apply the patches or
leave a comment what needs to be improved.
I know, some of this will take a lot of time, but I think, it can help
us in getting some of the good patches that are already there applied
and encourage people to write patches.
And the best thing is, only the last part has to be taken care of by an
actual committer, all the tinkering with the labels can be done by any
regular JIRA user.
