I did just remember another small item though - hooking up searching by Real Name in addition to Username when adding someone to the nosy list (not everyone uses the first.last naming convention for their username, especially if they have an already established username they're bringing over from other services)
That should already work, but the autocomplete only includes people in the expert list and committers.
Aye, that part is great, the specific part I'm referring to is the search dialogue that pops up when you click on the "(list)" link. I also wondered whether there might be a few enhancements that could be gathered under a "Improved mentoring support" theme, like being able to check how many patches someone has uploaded vs how many of the related issues have been resolved, or helping mentors keep a record of who's patches they've accepted recently. At the moment we can track commits fairly well, but there isn't really much of a link back to the uploaded patches outside the NEWS file and commit message, which automated tools tend not to read. (We could also look at using "hg commit -u" more to credit patch authors in the metadata, and something https://bitbucket.org/ede/committer/src/default/hgcommitter.py to track the committer info. On the other hand, it may not be worth doing that given the expected future work on forge.python.org based workflows, regardless of whether that's Kallithea or Phabricator based)
* since some of the Roundup devs said they would be available to help, one option would be to find a core Python mentor for this project (Nick?) and then the student can still interact with the Roundup guys (including me) and get help from other devs as well.
I'm already trying to figure out how to gracefully hand at least some of my current projects over to other people, so I won't be volunteering for anything new any time soon :)
If you figure that out let me know, or else I'll have to take the cloning route again :)
Taking into account the many things I'd like to eventually see fixed upstream when figuring out what I want to do with my professional career helps, but I can certainly see the attraction of the cloning option :) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
