Partially. The "announce" mail for the pre-branching period will still happen, pointing to the "Metabug" in which to add the WIP features that developers intend to land before the deadline. If some of the developers just reply by mail/IRC/you-name-it, then it will be the release manager task to add the blocking bugs with the WIP features, as a way of documenting them. > Providing another means to devs to track/handle things is good IMHO. > Whether developers will like it is up-to them.

Just mention the WIP feature and update its status eventually ... and only for the ones developer X wants to have at branchpoint Y before that happens. The rest of the work of developer X doesn't need to be in Bugzilla. > - Do I open another bug, or list my feature in the metabug - seeming > an ongoing theme with metabugs I think it should be a new blocking bug but I'm open to just document it in the Metabug. > - Do I add the bug, reply to the email or both Preferably, just add the bug. Once the bug is created and all the parties are in Cc for the bug, I understand there is no need for any other way of communication. I'm still open to reconsidering, though. -- Br, Andres _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
