Thanks Andrea,

I will take into account you are referencing the CodeContributionWorkflow page from outside the newcomers guided wiki, since we were planing a new revamp, this might worth to take into account.

Best regards,

Hello,

one of the most problematic points we've been discussing since the

GNOME Github mirror was introduced [1] (three years already!) has been

the presence of pull requests and the missing feature / functionality

to actually turn them off for specific repositories / organizations.

What many have correctly pointed out during these three years relates

to the fact pull requests and our current contributions workflow

collide in a way that has caused confusion between community members

with dozens of patches being left on Github unreviewed.

Finally the GNOME Infrastructure Team is going to introduce a daily

cronjob (first run is scheduled next week, enough time for collecting

excludes) that will close all the pull requests for each repository

hosted under the GNOME organization umbrella. The closure message will

look like this:

"""

Thank you for contributing to $project_name!

$project_name uses Bugzilla for code review.

If you have never contributed to GNOME before make sure you have read the

getting started documentation:

http://www.gnome.org/get-involved

Otherwise please visit

https://wiki.gnome.org/Newcomers/CodeContributionWorkflow

and follow the instructions there to upload your change to Bugzilla.

"""

If you don't want the script to actually run against any of your

maintained products, modules, components please drop me an e-mail and

I'll make sure proper excludes will be set.

Thanks,
