Rich Bowen commented on WHIMSY-381:
-----------------------------------
This was my take, too - if this information is {*}required{*}, make the [P]PMC
provide it and push back on requests that don't provide the info. Automation is
fine, but this is one of the very few responsibilities of a PMC. Make them do
it.
> 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...
