Sebb commented on WHIMSY-381:
-----------------------------
Why is it necessary to find the vote for the committer?
Just file the ICLA and inform the (P)PMC.
Let them sort it out.
The Secretary should not be taking on tasks that can be done by (P)PMCs, as
that is not scalable.
> Make finding [VOTE][RESULT] easier

> Key: WHIMSY-381
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-381
> Project: Whimsy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: SecMail
> Reporter: Craig L Russell
> Assignee: Craig L Russell
> Priority: Minor
>
> One of the most labor-intensive parts of secretary mail is finding the vote
> for a new committer. The work flow I use is:
> copy the public name of the new committer
> move to the [lists.apache.org|http://lists.apache.org/] tab that I have open
> paste the public name into the search all field
> search for messages with the person's name
> find the message with subject [VOTE][RESULT] or similar
> click on the message header to open the message
> find the (link) button
> right click on the link button
> scroll down to (copy link)
> move to the file tab in workbench
> paste the link into the vote result field
> According to [~humbedooh] :
> [lists.apache.org|http://lists.apache.org/] has a JSON api, so it should be
> possible to make a snippet that does this for you. Steps 6 through 9 can be
> done by right clicking the subject line in the search result and copying the
> link from that, as that is the permalink.
> What I'd like to see is a right-click action on the public name field in the
> icla form that would construct the appropriate lists.apache.org url, send it
> to lists.apache.org, and display the result in the panel to the right. Then
> right click on the proper message copies the vote link to the clipboard where
> it can be pasted into the vote link field.
> Any volunteers? I don't have the skills for this one...
