Yesterday there was a conversation about code review on irc and among other
things, how sometimes patches can get "stuck".
I had an idea for a way to improve things. I'm not sure if it is a good
idea, but there's only one way to find out.
So without further ado, announcing the Code Review Patch Board:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_review/patch_board
In short - each person is allowed to list one of their patches on the board
that they would really like to see reviewed. You can only list one patch at
a time, and it should be a patch that you have been unable to get review
for for at least a week through normal means. See the page for the full
list of guidelines.
I encourage people to give it a try. Add a patch you wrote that you cannot
get a review for. Or if you have +2 rights, try giving some love to these
underloved patches.
I would also love to hear feedback on the general idea as well as the
current guidelines.
