Review day? Anyone thinks a monthly review day will
help?
Yes, definitely a review day (announced beforehand) would help - another
thing which would help in general is a page where you can see the oldest
unreviewed patches.
Also, I would love to see us have some social way that people can start
reviewing patches when they join the project - there's no better way to
understand the project. The best way to lower the number of unreviewed
patches is to have more reviewers.
Also - as someone not that familiar with Gerrit, what's involved in
picking up someone's patch and revising it for them? A pattern I see
over & over again is:
Jane submits patch
Alex reviews: -1 with suggestions for improvements
Jane submits patch rev #2
Barry reviews: -1 (whitespace issues)
Jane submits patch #3
Hoda reviews: -1 with suggestions for another approach
Jane loses interest and patch remains *almost* ready forever until it no
longer applies or gets dropped.
Is there a way we can promote "adopt a patch" where you take someone
else's patch and push it through review?
Cheers,
Dave.
