[Mesa-dev] Thoughts after hitting 100 merge requests?

[Axel Davy]

Hi,

I'm not sure the promise "1 mail per pull request" is working well.
For example, taking one recent pull request
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/merge_requests/105

I didn't receive anything, nor
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2019-January/thread.html
yet.

I received some mails with [MR] in the title with two lines indicating 
merge requests, but that seems to be for a minority of the requests.

I guess the system is not automated right now.

I think there needs to be an automated system, and that it should look 
pretty close to what a cover-letter for a mail serie should look like, 
that is:
. The global stat diffs of the merge requests (which files are affected, 
how many modifications, etc)
. The summary of the request
. All the patch titles

I don't want to go open all merge requests in my browser to get that 
information.
So far I only went check the list of gitlab merge requests 3 times, 
whereas I go through my mails several times a day.


Yours,

Axel Davy
