Subject: [gentoo-proxy-maint] Posting patches on this mailing list instead of using GitHub
Date: Sun, 07 Jun 2020 01:45:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zh9fn4g8.fsf@wedjat.horus-it.com> (raw)
I know the Proxy Maintainer User Guide mentions mailing list patches as
a permissible alternative to GitHub pull requests. I also know that I
can locally discard these patches silently.
Still, I wonder why patches are posted here instead of using GitHub,
because there is no public review process going on. To me, email-based
patches on the Gentoo Proxy Maintainer mailing list are at best mildly
annoying, and at worst an attempt at jumping the queue, i.e. to get
one's changes processed faster than those made through GitHub. They
also, in my perception, have a smell of "ooh, look at me, I am working"
about them.
Thoughts?
