Do we still have a patch manager?

[kf...@collab.net]

Hi, Sander Roobol.  Pardon me if you sent a mail about this already --
I don't remember one, and don't see any in the mailing list archives.

It seems quite a few patches have come to the list lately, but have
not ended up in the tracker via to the usual algorithm (wait for
feedback, see if the thread resolves itself first, etc).  I'm pretty
sure that some of them *should* have ended up in the issue tracker,
according to this usual algorithm...

Some possibilities:

   1. I didn't follow the threads carefully enough, and therefore am
      mistaken in thinking that these patches were the sort to be
      grabbed by the patch manager, or

   2. You've gotten swamped and don't have enough time to do patch
      management lately, or

   3. Something else :-).

If (2), no problem at all, of course -- just let us know.  I've saved
most of those threads, I can go back and "manage" the pending patches,
and then we can find a new patch manager for the future.  The work is
very valuable, so we shouldn't let it go undone.

(Or if (1), then, er, my apologies)

Thanks,
-Karl

Done and done.

Sure, it never hurts.  Even if there is an active patch manager, this
would save him some work.

My feeling is, the patch manager is basically there to clean up after
people who, for whatever reason, weren't able to do their own patch
management.  People experienced with the project can usually do their
own, so no need for them to rely on the patch manager.

Attaching them to the incident yourself can't hurt IMO, as long as it's 
clear that they're work in progress type things.

As someone who has submitted two or three of those patches, I have the 
additional question of whether I should be attaching them to the existing 
incident or should I be waiting for some more clear guidance.

I think that Garrett was planning on reviewing the patches (when he has the 
chance) but that may not have any bearing about when/who attaches the patches to 
the incidents...
