This is awesome! Is it possible to see a log of the recipients/patches? --Jet

Emails about improvements would now be sent to individual patch authors using the same logic as regression emails: * If there are up to five authors in the regression range, email dev-tree-management and each of the patch authors. * If there are more than five authors, just email dev-tree-management. I've spoken to other developers in a few places, and most were in favor of this change. Those who don't want the extra emails can filter them out if they want to. Motivations for this change: - When you are expecting a patch to affect performance, the email is useful confirmation. Receiving it directly saves you the work of searching through the mailing list archives or manually inspecting graphs. - When you're not expecting a performance improvement, it may be important to know that one has happened so you can figure out why. (Sometimes it's a sign of a bug, for example if you accidentally disabled some code.) - Warm fuzzy feeling for developers who write perf wins! I think the accuracy of the analysis script is now good enough that this would not generate too many spurious emails. If you have any opinions or suggestions about this change, please share them here or in bug 904250! _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
