Using tools/dist/backport.pl, I can fully process 3-4 approved STATUS entries in 15 seconds by pressing 'y' three times. (Reference: r1235925:r1235929 and r1213744:r1213747.)
At this point I wonder how this could be made more efficient. Options include: - Converting people who merge/commit backports manually to use backport.pl - Teaching backport.pl to run the merge with a --accept option, given such instructions in the STATUS entry - Assuming the 'y' input without human intervention; at this point we could just run backport.pl, unmanned, from cron. Thoughts?
