Hi everyone!
In order to unblock people from using the forge, I plan on changing the
batrachomyomachia bot configuration to send patches to
[email protected] by default rather than [email protected].[1]
The automation is currently not perfect (understatement!) but there is a
solid set of enhancements recorded in the issues[2] that I hope people
will help me tackle sooner rather than later. Some of these issues are
labeled "Good First Issue". I'll do my best to help anyone who wants to
deal with them (nudge nudge!) and will do my part to fix more as time
permits.
If you plan on using the forge and the automation, log into your forge
account, open your profile page [3], fill the "Full Name" field (or
people won't know who sent the email), check you are visible and that
the "Hide email address" check box is unchecked.
When you are reviewing patches from the forge, or just replying, know
that, for now, the Reply-To header is currently not being set. If you
don't change the To: in your reply, you'll get a bounce because the user
doesn't exist.
The emails will still arrive from the [email protected]
email address for the time being. I hope to have something better,
coming from a sourceware.org domain in weeks rather than months, modulo
unforeseen hardware/network/staffing issues.
