[cdt-dev] Proposal - abolish cdt-patch

[Douglas Schaefer <dschaefe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

That should grab your attention.

One thing I notice the Eclipse platform
folks doing is using bugzilla for submitting, holding discussions, and
managing patches. The problem I see with our cdt-patch list, especially
after a week when a lot of committers were away, is loosing track of which
patches have been applied and ownership on who is going to apply them.
Using bugzilla will give patches an owner and a status and reduce our dependency
on all of the committers' mail system to ensure patches get appropriate
attention.

Along with this proposal would be a
continuation of the proposal to institute an inbox mailing list as the
default owners on new bugs. The idea would be that all committers would
be members of the inbox list so they can see when new bugs get raised and
patch requests come in.

Thoughts?
