Обсуждение: September CommitFest Closed
Hackers, As it is now October 1st, I have taken the remaining 5 patches still under discussion and moved them to the top of the list for November, though hopefully they will be applied sooner. For the September commitfest, 29 patches were applied (one to pgFoundry) and 18 patches were sent back for more work. More importantly, six *new* reviewers completed reviews of of various patches: Abbas Butt, Alex Hunsaker, Markus Wanner, Ibrar Ahmed, Ryan Bradetich and Gianni Colli. Several other new reviewers volunteered, but we ran out of patches to check, and Kenneth Marshall had to quit reviewing because of Hurricane Ike. Yaaaaay, reviewers. The November CommitFest commences in 1 month. We already have 10 patches in the queue for it. If you are planning to submit a brand new patch for November, it would be a really good idea to get it in early and discuss it on -hackers *before* November first; patches which "time out" might not go into 8.4. Round-Robin Reviewers, please advise me of your availability in November. Thanks everyone, this system is really starting to work. --Josh

If nothing else ever came of the Commit Fest approach, if it creates more reviewers, then I think the Commit Fest process would be a success. I think the Commit Fest approach does this by lowering the bar of entry to become a reviewer. It does this because it brings more focus to patch review on a regular basis and since it changes the patch review process from a last minute dash that only experience hackers should get involved with to a process with more time before the final deadline, hence more friendly for new reviewers to get involved. Good news all around!
