<div dir="ltr">Hi folks,<div><br></div><div>According to [1], we have ways to introduce external references to commit messages.</div><div><br></div><div>These are useful to mark certain patches and their relevance in the context of documentation, upgrades, etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I was wondering if it would be useful considering the addition of another tag:</div><div><br></div><div>GateFailureFix</div><div><br></div><div>The objective of this tag, mainly for consumption by the review team, would be to make sure that some patches get more attention than others, as they affect the velocity of how certain critical issues are addressed (and gate failures affect everyone).</div>
<div><br></div><div>As for machine consumption, I know that some projects use the 'gate-failure' tag to categorize LP bugs that affect the gate. The use of a GateFailureFix tag in the commit message could make the tagging automatic, so that we can keep a log of what all the gate failures are over time.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Not sure if this was proposed before, and I welcome any input on the matter.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Armando</div><div><br></div><div>[1] - <a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GitCommitMessages#Including_external_references">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GitCommitMessages#Including_external_references</a></div>
