Hi Maxim, > I've grown to like our apparent lack of structure; we interact globally > on any topic of interest and the discussions all happen in a shared > space, which makes it easy to stay informed with everything that's going > on (do we really need more mailing lists to follow? I don't think so -- > our current volume doesn't warrant it). to me this is a disadvantage. I don’t have enough time at my hands to look at every single thread and patch in my inbox and decide whether I can/want to work on it. Thus I’d prefer if I could unsubscribe from -patches (I’m not even subscribed to -bug/-commit) and instead only look at bugs/patches/commits related to packages/components I’m interested into/I actually use.
To that end having more structure would help. Teams are just one option, but we need a way to efficiently connect people with skills to review/help with those who need the review/help. This sounds similar to what Gentoo’s Bug Wranglers[1] do. I believe someone brought up to automate this by suggesting reviewers for patches based on the commit history of packages/components.
