[jgit-dev] submitting jgit proposals (too) fast
|
Hi Chris,
I see that it happened now multiple times (e.g.
http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#change,2635 or ...,2564) to multiple
developers that proposals in jgit/egit have been merged sooner as the
author expected it. It happens quite seldom, but sometimes proposals
get submitted before everybody hat a chance to react on them
("reviewers are not fast enough"). And in other occasions a developer
really wants and expects some comments but the proposal gets too early
submitted ("developer couldn't express that he needs feedback"). Don't
get me wrong: I really like that somebody looks at our open proposals
and submits what's good enough - that's good for some/most of our
proposals and increases our overall speed.
But I think we need some rules to allow that
a) everybody get's a chance to do a review in time and
b) a developer can express that he expects comments
Are there any best practices of other projects which solve this? Some
kind of minimum time a non-trivial proposals should stay in review
(or: before I submit a proposal where there is already another
reviewer I wait at lest 24hours after the last patchset). Or a rule
that authors should vote (-2) on their proposals if they are not sure
whether they are ready for submit.
What's your opinion about that?
Ciao
Chris
