Please take this as a request for regular git-send-email updates to this list, so I can see them if I'm not online. Maybe add a boilerplate line to direct to the git repo webui. I'm sure a few others will appreciate it too.Samba does well with the web-based discussion mechanism around merge-requests (MR's) in gitlab. I assume github has something similar. Maybe send the initial patch to the list with a link to the github MR so people interested in reviewing/discussing can follow along there ?
well, if I could have it the way I wanted, then this would be it. But I understand that adopting new workflows is not something I can impose -- at least not without paying for an insane amount of Lakritz-Gitarren that I tend to use to bribe metze into doing something I want him to do. :)
The problem is not so much doing the *review* on patches sent to the list. While Samba has moved away from doing review on patch emails, it can certainly be done.
The point is, once you go beyond "review" by taking someone else's patchset, modifying it deeply, reordering patches, adding patches, rewriting patches, dropping patches and so on, that's when the patchset-as-email workflow explodes and coordination via git is needed.
Once such a collaboratively worked on patchset stabilizes, it can of course again go to the mailing list.
