That role is primarily taken care of by the refereeing process. Of course the release manager is a "meta-editor" in the sense that he needs to verify the refereeing process has been correctly followed and the credibility of the referee (if someone just pops up and starts marking stuff as positive review, that doesn't mean it'll automatically go in. This is the part that can't be automated, but is not (as I understand it) what takes time). The difficulty of the job seems to be managing patch dependancies (which could possibly be distributed, though perhaps not the final merge) and making sure it builds and passes on a variety of architectures (where it's no harder to run all tests than a subset (what subset?) of them). - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
