I've arranged for MPs against git-ubuntu repositories to appear in the sponsorship queue[1]. Please could all sponsors handle these MPs just like any other sponsorship request?
I appreciate that the git-ubuntu repo isn't the right place to push changes when there's a team maintaining a "more upstream" packaging repository somewhere else. I'm not trying to change that. But I've noticed that we do seem to have a culture of accepting contributions in whatever form they arrive in. For example, most sponsors would accept a debdiff from a bug, even if they're really maintaining a packaging branch in git somewhere. So, I'd like to socialise the idea that sponsors should review git-ubuntu MPs as-is, even if the target is "wrong". Sponsors can rebase and push to the right place themselves before upload if/as needed, just as they might with a debdiff. Just dput without pushing to git and marking the MP as "Merged" manually would also be fine from git-ubuntu's perspective. There would be no requirement or expectation to touch git-ubuntu in any way, except to use the MP for review iterations as needed. Of course repeat contributors should, in time, be guided in how to submit requests to minimise our review work. I noticed that people have been filing MPs against the git-ubuntu repositories, but these were languishing because we don't have a process to get such MPs reviewed. We already have the sponsorship queue, so this seemed like the simplest way forward to ensure that the MPs don't end up entirely ignored. Note that the sponsorship queue itself is offline at the moment. There's an IS ticket to get this restored. In the meantime you can also see the sponsorship request MPs against git-ubuntu branches from the ~ubuntu-sponsors +activereviews page[2].
