I think as a project maintainer-tools is now so detached and independent
from the kernel git flows that we can move to support merge requests
here if you like. All in, or support both patches and merge requests?

Yeah with proper MR flow we'd have marge set up (to do the MR merging
for us, it's a bot), which adds a Part-of: tag to each commit it
pushes through an MR, so you can go back to the MR link and see all
the discussion. There's an r-b: tag from me there. I think we should
either set that up or disable MR since it's confusing.

Oh, okay, don't worry about it. Daniel merging the PR is certainly
enough of an ack here. The problem is that in git logs you appeared to
be the committer and Daniel's involvement was completely lost, and
that's what I was going by.

BR,

reminder: review of maintainer-tools patches is mandatory

2021-01-13 Thread Jani Nikula


Hi Sumit, I just noticed commit 3ed2489ca753 ("Update repositories.rst
for current drm-misc maintainers") in the maintainer-tools repository.

The change appears to have been pushed without first sending the patch
to the dim-tools mailing list, and apparently without review.

Regardless of how trivial or minor the change appears to be, review is
mandatory. For that to happen, posting to the mailing list is mandatory.

Please see CONTRIBUTING.rst in the repository.

---

As to the change, the review, given the chance, would have been that the
change is not enough. We still seem to have Sean's email in the dim
script.


BR,
Jani.
