Hi folks.
It really helps frequent reviewers like me if you use platform prefixes on bugs. A platform prefix indicates that the bug only affects code on a particular platform. For example:
[Mac] Use four more named cursors if present
The above title tells you the patch is Mac-specific. Or:
[Chromium] Switch threaded compositor from a compile time option to a run time one
The above title tells you the patch is Chromium-specific. There are various other common prefixes, such as [Skia] or [Qt].
Including a prefix on a bug title shows courtesy for others not working on your platform and is good for sharing the WebKit project. You should leave off a prefix if the patch includes cross-platform changes as well as platform-specific changes.
