There are a couple of differences in my mind. One is that the email list provides an automatic historical archive, whereas trackers tend to be all about current state. Another is that the email list provides a "push" mechanism for putting the proposed patch under the noses of a bunch of people, a few of whom will hopefully take a sniff ;-). A tracker is very much more of a "pull" scenario where someone has to actively go looking for pending/proposed changes. Obviously there are virtues on both sides of this, which is why I think we need both mechanisms. The simplest way to integrate them AFAICS is to use the tracker as an index on the email traffic. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
