[Python-Dev] SF patch manager...

[M.-A. Lemburg]

[Please excuse my ranting... :-)]

I've received the first round of notification message from the
patch manager and can't really say that I like them. Ok, I 
understand that the patch manager is still alpha or beta software,
but these messages really don't have any usable content at all:

"""
Patch #100646 has been updated. 
Visit SourceForge.net for more info.

http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=100646&group_id=5470
"""

Also, reviewing the patches has become a pain and discussing them
is nearly impossible (I don't consider the slashdot like comment
mechanism to be of any use: there's simply no audience for
discussion).

Is there any chance of tee'ing patches from SF to the patches
list or some other patch discussion and review forum ? I do
understand that the mechanism can help with patch *checkins*,
but it's certainly not going to help much with the discussion
step needed before conidering any actions. The independent
peer review principal doesn't work with this kind of setup.

Ok, enough whining, let's get on with business now ;-)
