Last time I did that, I was accused of shouting... :) http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/45647 But I support making prepare-ChangeLog less confusing. Our "fix up one of the OOPS, but don't touch the other!" expectation of contributors is the source of much confusion. :) -eric On Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 6:57 PM, Darin Adler <darin@apple.com> wrote:
It’s totally reasonable for the bot to require a reviewer line, because the bot requires a reviewer on the bug too.
It’s in non-bot contexts that I think it’s not good. I think that means I agree with you both who said that running webkit-patch on the command line shouldn't require it. We can have the commit bot use an option to tell webkit-patch it wants that rule.
As far as the confusion factor is concerned, we could change the wording of the "Reviewed by" line added by prepare-ChangeLog to make it more explicit.
Reviewed by <REVIEWER-NAME-WILL-BE-FILLED-IN-HERE-DO-NOT-DELETE> (OOPS).
Or something nicer than that but with a similar flavor.
