Identifying High-Priority Merge Reviews
We can target a useful subset of the pending merge reviews so that we can at least get a basic installable system consisting entirely of reviewed packages.
Asking pungi to gather an absolutely minimal system consisting of just the mandatory packages in @base plus the kernel gives a list of 117 packages which are built from 99 source packages. A few greps against the current lists of new, open and accepted reviews plus a few gives the list below. Of the 99 packages:
- 36 have passed merge review, or did not go through the merge review process. Some went through the pre-merge "core review process" while some came in via extras. One package (syslog-ng) was reviewed previous to the use of bugzilla for reviews and perhaps could use a re-review.
- 15 currently have a reviewer (or at least the review flag is set to '?' or '!'), although many of these have been stalled for some time and it's possible that some of the flags are set in error.
- This leaves 48 packages which need attention.
Proposal
- Ping the 15 in-progress reviews, set the flags properly and start the non-responsive reviewer process if necessary. This needs to start soon so that there's sufficient time to make it all the way through the non-responsive process and find new reviewers if this turns out to be necessary.
- Beg folks to pick up the other 48 packages. Many of these aren't terribly difficult, but kernel and glibc will probably sap a lot of reviewer time.
- Get buy in from the Red Hat engineering folks. Most of this is for naught if we get reviewers but the maintainers aren't interested.
