I find these cherry-pick bug comments annoying and hope that you will stop generating them. There are many ports that make releases based off of WebKit trunk, and all of them have some notion of release branches that contain cherry-picked revisions, reverts, etc. As a developer it's nearly always irrelevant to me whether a given patch is cherry-picked into a given Qt release or not, just as it would be to know if that revision was cherry-picked into a given Gtk, EFL, Safari, or Chromium release branch. When I do need to know the status of a specific branch, I look in the port-specific location of the branch to see what happened. For example, to see what's in a given chromium release I look in the appropriate subdirectory of <a href="http://trac.webkit.org/browser/branches/chromium">http://trac.webkit.org/browser/branches/chromium</a>. For the Safari 534 branch, <a href="http://trac.webkit.org/browser/branches/safari-534-branch">http://trac.webkit.org/browser/branches/safari-534-branch</a> etc.<div>
<br></div><div>I would recommend that the people who work on QtWebKit figure out a way to track revisions in their release branches in a way that does not involve spamming non-Qt bugs on <a href="http://bugs.webkit.org">bugs.webkit.org</a> or developers who aren't working directly on Qt.</div>
