Hi folks,
http://patches.linaro.org/ went live yesterday and we need your help to set it up and get accurate metrics. It should take only a few minutes!
The first thing we need is the HTTP URL for the upstream master branch of every project on the front page -- I'll take a git:// URL if that's all they have. If you could send me the URLs for the projects you contribute to, it'd be great. This has to be done only once and we'll use that to automatically detect when a patch is committed upstream.
Unfortunately, in some cases the patch that is ultimately committed upstream is significantly[1] different from the one we have in our records, so we can't match them. In these cases we'll need to manually mark them as accepted at
http://patches.linaro.org/patchwork/user/ (see "Patches for which you are waiting feedback")
Similarly, if any of the patches you see there have been superseded or rejected, please do mark them as such. You can do bulk changes there selecting the patches and using the form at the bottom.
Finally, although we do our best to place patches under the appropriate projects, sometimes we're not able to (e.g. when patches are sent *only* to patches@l.o), and in these cases they need to be moved manually. The list of patches for which we couldn't find a project are at
http://patches.linaro.org/patchwork/project/other-unknown/list/
And there's a form at the bottom which allows them to be moved to the appropriate project. If we're missing a project just let me know and I'll create it.
It'd be great if you could check the two links below at least once a month to update the state/project of your patches. It shouldn't take much time, but if you have any suggestions on how we can improve this, please do let us know.
[1] If it's just slightly different but from the same author we can still match them
