Hello,
We recently introduced a teams.scm[1] file defining different teams such
as "Julia team", "Lisp team" or "Mentors".
If you are a newcomer seeking for some guidance to contribute to a Lisp
package, you can run the following command:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
mathieu@meije ~/guix [env]$ ./etc/teams.scm list-members lisp
Guillaume Le Vaillant <g...@posteo.net>
jgart <jg...@dismail.de>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
so that you know who can help you with you endeavor.
Now, we are going a step further, and by running:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
mathieu@meije ~/guix [env]$ git send-email --to XXX@@debbugs.gnu.org
$(./etc/teams.scm cc-members HEAD~2 HEAD) *.patch
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
the teams concerned by the two last commits you are sending to review
will automatically by put in CC.
This is automatic but not magic! It works by defining a scope of files
that are mentored by a team. For instance, the installer team has the
following scope:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-team installer
(team 'installer
#:name "Installer script and system installer"
#:scope
(list (make-regexp "^guix/installer(\\.scm$|/)"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So, we can all improve this mechanism by:
1. Defining your team scope, if you are already part of a team
2. Joining a team
To do that, you can send patches to the etc/teams.scm.in file.
Thanks,
Mathieu
