As a recent drive-by patch submitter, updating the web page and other docs to say "use GitLab" would have been sufficient for me. As they are now it wasn't clear which way is preferred, so I defaulted to using mesa-dev@ only to find that the dev focus seems to be in gitlab.fd.o and if it wasn't for Roland watching the mailing list my patch seemed likely to get missed. I also went through the work of subscribing to mesa-stable@ to nominate there, but again it feels like I missed the de-facto channel for suggesting a stable backport patch. Hint hint [1]. :) GitLab would have been preferred all round. -Nathan [1] llvmpipe: Check thread creation errors 9a80b7fd8f282d4b448f826ff88c8770c079fb72 Prevents a SEGV in situations where thread creation is restricted (cgroups, ulimit -u, /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max, etc.) _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
