I am frantically trying to get ready to be out of town for a week of vacation. Someone sent me some patches for datetime and asked me to look at them. I begged off but referred him to http://www.python.org/dev/ and made mention of the five patch review idea. Can someone make sure that's explained on the /dev/ site?
This should go into Brett's survey of the Python dev process, not as official documentation. It's simply an offer made by some of the prominent members of python-dev.
I am planning on adding that blurb in there.
Actually, while I have everyone's attention, I might as well throw an idea out there about sprucing up yet again the docs on contributing. I was thinking of taking the current dev intro and have it just explain how things basically work around here. So the doc would become more of just a high-level overview of how we dev the language.
But I would cut out the helping out section and spin that into another doc that would go into some more detail on how to make a contribution. So this would specify in more detail how to report a bug, how to comment on one, etc. (same goes for patches). This is where I would stick the 5-for-1 deal.
Lastly, write up a doc that covers what one with CVS checkin rights needs to do when checking in code. So how one goes about getting checkin rights, getting initial checkins OK'ed by others, and then the usual steps taken for a checkin.
Sound worth it to people? Not really needed so go back and do your homework, Brett? What?
