Please see #385957, and the discussion between Julian and myself.
Basically, we thought about two solutions, and I came up with
a third one last night.
1. Julian proposes to simply to encode the information about a BSP
into the tag for any given bug:
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
usertag 123456 + [EMAIL PROTECTED]
alternatively, split it up into two tags:
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
usertag 123456 + [EMAIL PROTECTED]
usertag 123456 + bsp-zurich
Now, when the BSP is over, we could have a script to remove
claims (after warning the claimer).
2. I would use two seperate usertag addresses:
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
usertag 123456 + [EMAIL PROTECTED]
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
usertag 123456 + [EMAIL PROTECTED]
These two are basically equivalent.
My other idea was to encode the date of a claim into the claim tag,
using either of these methods:
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
usertag 123456 + [EMAIL PROTECTED]
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
usertag 123456 + [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We could then have a script that pings maintainers after a week (or
whatever we deem appropriate) and asks them to reconfirm their
claim, otherwise it will be removed:
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
usertag 123456 - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
usertag 123456 + [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Comments?
Also, so far I have not gotten any replies on the other question:
does it make sense to plan the bugs to squash in advance and get in
touch with upstream? How do we best coordinate multiple BSPs at
once?
