Hi all, reviewing patches for a release branch is currently a hassle:
submitter: - find cgit link - write to mailing list with cgit link asking for review reviewer: - check out the release branch - cherrypick commit on release branch by exctracting the commit-id from the cgit link - review the commit - push commit on the release branch - mail to list that the stuff is pushed using gerrit its a bit simpler for the reviewer: - check out the release branch - gerrit-cherry-pick the commit - push the commit to the release branch (gerrit will take care of notifying the submitter but the submitter has a bit more to do: - check out the release branch - cherry-pick the commit - push to refs/for/libreoffice-3-5 While that is rather simple, it could be scripted even simpler. I submitted a bug to gerrit wrt this: http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=1446 but maybe I am just overlooking a best practice there. If not, we might alternatively have either a email or an IRC bot, which you send a message like: releasereview 213d5355d78a0a690e366645d6416f4a8fe5e666 libroffice-3-5 and it will do all of the above on its own. Opinions on that? Is it better to have an IRC or an Email bot?
