Dear laconica-dev,

I think the current work flow with git repo clones and merge requests is
a great way to make the development process open for many people
(including irregular contributors like myself). Yet evan lately switched
to cherry-picking commits from the clones instead of completely merging
them into dev; I quite understand this since some of the clones
(including my own) hold a big amount of commits, with very different and
partly hard to review fixes.

Unfortunately this leads to an unclear situation for those who requested
a merge (Which commits are merged already? Are there specific problems
with the other commits?) and those who are about to request their
changes to be applied to the upstream code base (How should I request
this? How should I request a cherry-pick of a concrete commit?).

I encountered both of these situations:
- - My commit
http://gitorious.org/projects/laconica/repos/adrianlang-clone/commits/1151b961
is not applied to dev and I don‘t know why.
- - I want my commit
http://gitorious.org/projects/laconica/repos/adrianlang-clone/commits/adcb889f
to be included in dev and I don‘t know whether I should create a new
merge request.
I think both commits are rather important to improve Laconica‘s OMB
compliance, but that‘s not really relevant.

What do you think about these raised questions? How could we improve the
process for contributors and maintainers?

Regards,
Adrian Lang / Codeispoetry
