  • Thread-topic: Continuing the Gitlab experiment: Single-patch PRs for gitlab

At the community call last month as well as this, we discussed whether to 
continue the “Gitlab experiment”.  It was generally agreed that reviewing 
Juergen’s long series was fairly sub-optimal, and that email was more suited to 
that sort of series.

That said, there was general agreement that requiring all patches to go through 
email was going to limit contribution, particularly of one-off “drive-by” 
contributions.  As such, it was proposed that we consider allowing both Gitlab 
PRs, and email: that for one-off or short series, Gitlab PRs would be accepted, 
but that for longer series and/or longer term contributors, we would encourage 
people to switch to patchbombing the mailing list.

We decided to continue the “Gitlab Experiment”, but with short PRs.  As such, 
Andy Cooper has posted two PRs:

https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen/-/merge_requests/2

https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen/-/merge_requests/3

And I’d encourage others to try submitting simple one-or-two-patch series as 
PRs to Gitlab instead, as we continue the experiment.
