Add a "refactoring" type to the issue tracker?
by Nick Coghlan
For https://bugs.python.org/issue32836, I ended up picking "behaviour"
as the issue type (since we're reporting that we're using a symbol
that we don't actually use), but it did prompt the thought: should we
add a "refactoring" type to the issue tracker?
Right now, we tend to mark refactoring changes as "enhancement", but
I'm thinking there would be value in making it clear that we don't
expect end users to notice a particular change, it's just for the
benefit of current and future maintainers.
Cheers,
Nick.

Making 'blurb' more visible?
by Chris Angelico
On my recent PR (#340 on GitHub, fwiw), I got a Bedevere check failure
for not including a NEWS entry. Couldn't remember the name of the tool
used to create them, and had to go digging quite a bit before I found
it. Is it possible to add extra info to the failure message, linking
to https://devguide.python.org/committing/#what-s-new-and-news-entries
? That would have saved a fair amount of fiddling around.
Not sure if this is a workflow question or a Bedevere question, my
apologies if I ought to have put this elsewhere.

How long to wait for any reaction to a (new) PR?
by michael＠felt.demon.nl
a) Hope this is the right place!
b) I assume everyone is very busy so I would never assume a reaction with one to two weeks, but - how long is "normal" before asking for a TTT, or something.
As an aside - I see that when it takes too long (call it unlucky) something that worked is suddenly "in conflict". More specific, was submitted against 'master' before the 3.7 tag was introduced - and now the master has moved far enough that CI says it cannot merge aka merge conflicts.
Again, I understand this is life, but I do not want to make unnecessary noise. If you say, it comes when it comes then I'll just have to wait.
Til tomorrow!

How to filter your issues by the branch name
by Stephane Wirtel
Hi all,
During the week, I just sent an email to this mailing list where I asked
if we could add new labels for the issues, these new labels could be
'3.5', '3.6', '3.7' etc...
In fact, we can search the Pull Requests about a specific branch with
the advanced search of Github.
For example, if we are looking for the PR of the branch 3.6, we can
use::
is:pr is:open base:3.6
just with `base:X.Y`
Here is my 2 cents.
Have a nice day,
Stéphane

Re: [python-committers] I created the "needs backport to 3.7" labelon GitHub
by Mariatta Wijaya
If it's protected then backport PR can still happen, but then only Ned can
merge it, right?
