This sounds fairly close what James was suggesting, though with central automation of the mail it out stage. > Then the maintainer needs to look at all the patches that were marked > for stable, and resend them to Greg saying which ones should go into > stable. One thing I don't particularly like about this is having to resend the patches in response to mail; it seems cumbersome to do that rather than reply to mail or something. Requiring a positive acknowledgement or action seems useful but the particular one seems a bit annoying; I'd rather either just send the patch as part of the mark for stable workflow or ack something in mail. > Also, we could mandate that the maintainers do the backports too. That's what happens already isn't it?
