Hello Martine,

I also want to add and stress that we should make proper use of
the "Hack'n'ACK Candidate" label in GitHub to find those "5-10"
PRs during the Hack'n'ACK.

In general, I also think that there is room for optimization regarding
the way we deal with Hack'n'ACKs currently and I like your proposal so far.

Best,
Cenk

Hi,
just a kind reminder that next week it is Hack'n'ACK time again and (on the time I write this Mail) we have 213 (!) open Pull Requests. I already discussed locally here in Berlin with some colleagues, how we can maybe optimize the Hack'n'ACK to get more Pull Requests merged or closed this time. So here is my idea:

  * Every participant takes 5-10 of the PRs they authored and gets
    them in a working order with the code base as they see fit
    (ideally this happens *before* the Hack'n'ACK)
  * At the Hack'n'ACK they go to the maintainer of the PR (if one is
    assigned, otherwise a person they see fit) and discuss the PR in
    person (or via a chat platform of your choice if the person is not
    in the same room as you ;-)) until it is merged (for most PRs this
    should take maybe 15 min at maximum).
      o if the maintainer is occupied or not present at the Hack'n'ACK
        go to the next
      o if no maintainers are available be available for other authors
        to review their PRs
  * If you have nothing to do, see if you can review the PR of an
    absent person
  * If possible: don't open new PRs during the Hack'n'ACK, unless for
    the purpose of subdividing an existing PR.
  * As always: try not to be too nitpicky, when reviewing the PRs ;-)

What do you think about these guidelines?

Cheers,
Martine
