Hi, I've been monitoring the pending requests list for the engine-patches mailing list for a while now, from what i could see, no one send mails to this list except automated mails initiated at gerrit (which is pretty much expected). the rest is spam..
this makes a requirement for people using gerrit (code contributors and reviewers) to subscribe to the list, and get all the mails on all gerrit activity. some people do not want to subscribe, and mails on their activity needs manual processing.
maybe there is a way to have automated job to run daily/weekly to add all gerrit users to the accept list for this list? then i would change the list to automatically reject all mail from non-subscribers and users that are not in the accept list.
what do you think? any other suggestion?
see http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/devel/2015-June/010693.html how this affect the engine-patches mailing list administration?
David why is engine-patches is needed at all? gerrit hooks are the one who triggers ci jobs no?
That seems a common misunderstanding, the gerrit hooks are not related to jenkins, jenkins connects to gerrit itself (has stream access) independently of the hooks.
Clarified that, not sure why engine-patches is needed but I think itamar and some team leads use it to monitor activity. Though afaik that can be done subscribing to the project (maibe that feature was not available on gerrit before)
its not the same. registering to the mailing list allows to see everything going through in batch. registering to a project means no difference from patches you are added to directly. having said this - I'm not sure engine-patches is that useful still. engine-commits still is.
