ATM we have contributors who would hapily submit to either and some that only would submit to one type. Same for maintainers. that makes 9 combined cases (ML, ANY, WEB) x (ML, ANY, WEB) Currently 4 of these 9 cases work with what i suggest, 7 of 9 would work If more can be done with smart tools thats great The goal is to simplify everyones workflow, use all modern tools available to make it easier for people > How do they communicate? The contributor looks in MAINTAINERS and sees if there is a preferred place to submit a patch(set) to. If she submits to the wrong place likely people would help her. Simple patches would get applied complex ones rejected with information where to submit them. > How does the maintainer get notified that there's a PR available to fetch? Iam not sure i understand the question but teh same way as she is notified of new commits in git, by runnning git fetch and seeing new things > And how does the maintainer comment on code when it wasn't sent to the ML? > Finally, how do the review comments flow back to the modern system? > > The only solution I know about which can do this is GitGitGadget (used by the > developers of Git itself) which I have adapted and set up > (https://github.com/ffstaging/FFmpeg/wiki). cool > But this is still limited as it doesn't send PR comments back to the ML and > it doesn't support mirroring patchsets from the ML back to GitHub and > comments from GitHub back to the ML. cant chatgpt be made to synchronize comments between mailing list and the web? thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB The real ebay dictionary, page 1 "Used only once" - "Some unspecified defect prevented a second use" "In good condition" - "Can be repaird by experienced expert" "As is" - "You wouldnt want it even if you were payed for it, if you knew ..."
