Hi Mikhail,

thank you for giving us feedback. We highly appreciate every kind of feedback 
on any topic. :-)

* You are absolutely right. We must pay more attention to GitHub pull requests. 
Our weekly bug squashing parties should be the perfect time for this.
* We also have already something in line for better social communication, stay 
tuned.
* However, I'm really surprised about the "commit stealing" as we attach great 
importance to keeping original authors. Everything else is unacceptable and we 
are deeply sorry if it happened. Do you have an example of such a case?
* I can't promise you anything regarding the CI service but we are currently 
evaluating different CI solutions in general. So there might by something in 
that direction (mid to long-term though).

Best regards,
Stefan

Betreff: [mitk-users] Improve the process of contributions

Hello. I want to share some suggestions to improve the process of contribution, 
please feel free to accept or reject it but in my opinion some of following 
could improve the productivity of contributors.


 *   Pay more attention to pull requests. Reply on GitHub, review more often. 
There are some old and already broken ones just because contributors didn't get 
respond from developers for a long time and they just don't know what to do. 
Contributions may be different to bugs in terms of forcing contributor to bug 
tracker and mailing list. I understand current review policy and it's just a 
suggestion of improving.
 *   Better social communication. IRC channel or maybe Slack room may bring 
some productivity either.
 *   Stop "stealing" commits of people from pull request and merging them by 
different emails, it's unacceptable but when you do it - at least close open 
pull request :)
 *   Maybe CI service to automate basic testing of pull requests.

Thank you.
