what proxy-maintainers need to really be effective is a way to handle patch |
| 13 |
queues where any user is allowed to submit to the queue, any Gentoo dev is |
| 14 |
allowed to approve, and the infrastructure takes care of the commit. ive been |
| 15 |
using gerrit these last few weeks and it seems like it'd be a pretty useful |
| 16 |
tool for exactly this. it allows anyone to easily do code review inline with |
| 17 |
the patch. |
