Hi, would it be possible to have a git repository with all patches that are submitted to stable@ but don't apply directly?
I get notified by mail, that's fine though it's not that convenient to see all the pending patches for backport to a given version. My proposal: - create a separate stable-unapplied git repository - if a patch does not apply to a given version, it's stored as-is to a directory of the base version (like 4.4) - once a fixed version is applied to stable-queue.git/released-4.4, the patch in the other repo is deleted I believe this can be highly automated and once implemented would not too much additional work to the stable workflow. I could possibly write a scraper of the mail archives to pick the patches and manage the repository but I think that a central repository could help other maintainers too or to spread the load to all interested developers. If something like that already exists, please let me know. Thanks.
