Better patch management than just sending to list. This is a _very_
long-standing issue that we need to attempt (again) to resolve. I am
not against trying pull requests in github (probably on some trial
basis, with a small group vetting it and assembling feedback, so as to
not throw everybody off on something we may or may not keep). There
are also a number of other projects around for this kind of thing that
we could pilot - patchwork and gerrit in the public space, and our own
(not the best name) trapaas, that resulted from some work mzatko did
for me when he was an intern (think the code is on github, not sure in
what state). I am sure there are plenty of other options we coudl
consider, these are just a couple I remember from last tiem I looked
at this problem. But the fact remains - the list is a poor patch
management tool, and is insufficient for our needs.
Yes, this. I'm curious, given the "attempt (again)" bit, what has been
done in the past to try and correct this (and ultimately failed)?
