I know the Proxy Maintainer User Guide mentions mailing list patches as |
2 |
a permissible alternative to GitHub pull requests. I also know that I |
3 |
can locally discard these patches silently. |

Still, I wonder why patches are posted here instead of using GitHub, |
6 |
because there is no public review process going on. To me, email-based |
7 |
patches on the Gentoo Proxy Maintainer mailing list are at best mildly |
8 |
annoying, and at worst an attempt at jumping the queue, i.e. to get |
9 |
one's changes processed faster than those made through GitHub. They |
10 |
also, in my perception, have a smell of "ooh, look at me, I am working" |
11 |
about them. |

Thoughts? |
