gitnub is fine for many things, and we can automated "kernel development process" things presumably with github easier than alternatives: - running "scripts/checkpatch" - make with C=1 and "_CHECK_ENDIAN" support turned on - kick off smbtorture tests (as Namjae already does in his branches in github)
you can also add "doing review". :)As for running tests: I want that as well! :) How can I get that? Maybe other want to run CI on their patches too before posting them.
BUT ... we have to ensure a couple things. - we don't annoy Linus (and linux-next and stable maintainers) by doing things like web merges in github (he complained about the meaningless/distracting github web ui empty merge messages)
as said before: just don't do the merge there, just the review. That's the way Samba has been doing it for years. Are you actually aware of the current Samba workflow?
