[yast-devel] Pull requests at github repo
Hi, it looks like after conversion to ruby number of external contribution to yast repo slightly increase. It is quite nice effect, but we should try to keep such contribution. From my POV our current biggest problem with some contributions is small reactions in some cases. So I think how to solve it and propose few rules for yast maintainers. 1. keep response time short ( I think that 24 hours response time is the best, if you check once a day your mailbox, then you should also check if you should review something ) 2. member who do yast screening should at least once a weak check pull requests without activity ( how define it? no activity for week?) and ping proper person ( you can easily sort it from the latest activity with https://github.com/organizations/yast/dashboard/pulls?direction=asc&page=1&sort=updated&state=open ) 3. member who do screening team should manage* review for modules without specific maintainer * manage mean, that he can ask person who looks the most appropriate for such review I think that even you are discouraged from contribution if noonse seems interested in your fix, so we should act better to encourage contributors. ideas, opinions, comments?

I agree with that. IMHO the most important thing is to react quickly. Eventhough you do not have time for the review right now you should at least put a note like "I'll check it during the next week or later ..." or similar to show your interest. So far we have had just few contributors so we need to take care of the incoming pull requests with high priority, not doing so would be discouradging for the others... -- Ladislav Slezák Appliance department / YaST Developer Lihovarská 1060/12 190 00 Prague 9 / Czech Republic tel: +420 284 028 960 lslezak@suse.com SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org
