RE: [eclipse.org-committers] Re: Contributed flag for patches

["Walter Harley" <eclipse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wonder if we could move this discussion out of email and into the
bugzilla entry?  It seems valuable and worth archiving.

Chris, 

Generally most patches I get are test cases.  Only a very small fracton
of patches I get are ever committed and hence only a small fraction
would ever be marked as contributed.  As such, I'm not sure I'd like all
non-committer patches to be marked as contributions automatically.

I would suggest as well that we need a "committed" flag to each bug.
People may contribute patches which don't ultimately get applied, but
it's much easier housekeeping if they are marked as "contributed" at the
time they come in as opposed to the time they are applied (if you want
to get super fancy, cross reference the Bugzilla login with the
committer database and auto-flag non-committer patches as contributed).
Then you can do nice things like follow up on all fixed bugs with
contributed patches but for which there was no patch marked applied,
just in case people forgot to go back and mark it as such when the bug
was resolved.

I'll add my comment to the bugzilla.

Kim,
We're sorry that you find IP logs a punishment, but we also sympathize
with you and the other project leads. Thus Janet and I rushed out and
implemented an automated IP log mechanism (
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/220977> https://bugs.eclipse.org/220977) -
it's alive and be used already and you are welcome to use it to submit
your IP logs now, today.

Janet and I are continuing to improve the automated IP log system as
fast as we can and we welcome *all* suggestions, requests, pleas,
complaints, and tirades. I like your contributed flag suggestion and I
added my comment to your bug and will implement it in the automated IP
logs code.

We look forward to more sinning by you but less karmic punishment (by
us) as a result,
- Bjorn
