to make it very clear that it is ok to pick up somebody else's patch<br>
and finish it. We are broadly distributed, time-zone-wise, and I know<br>
other teams working on OpenStack projects have the same situation. So<br>
when one of us starts the day and sees an obvious issue with a patch,<br>
we have decided to take action, rather than always -1 and move on. We<br>
clarified for our core reviewers that this does not mean that now both<br>
of you cannot +2. We just need at least one person who hasn't been in<br>
the code to also +2 for an approval*.<br>
<br>
I think all projects can benefit from this model, as it will raise<br>
velocity. It is not perfect for everything, but it is really great when<br>
running up against deadlines or when a patch has a lot of churn and thus<br>
may take a long time to get through the "rebase gauntlet".<br>
<br>
So, all of that said, I want to encourage all OpenStack developers to<br>
say "thanks for fixing my patch" when somebody else does so. It may seem<br>
obvious, but publicly expressing gratitude will make it clear that you<br>
do not take things personally and that we're all working together.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your time -Clint<br>
<br>
* If all core reviewers have been in on the patch, then any two +2's<br>
work.<br>
