Hello, Since we have a nice mirrored git repository for hive[1], any specific reason why we can't switch to doing pull requests instead of patches? IMHO pull requests are awesome for peer review plus it is also very easy to keep track of JIRAs with open pull requests instead of looking for JIRAs in a "Patch Available" state. Also since they get updated automatically, it is also very easy to see if a review comment made by a reviewer was addressed properly or not.
Thoughts? Thanks, [1] https://github.com/apache/hive -- Swarnim
