[Python-Dev] Random SF tracker ettiquete questions (original) (raw)

First, do we care about closing RFEs? I realized that Skip does not keep count of them in his weekly summary so I am not sure how much we care about them. Should I waste my time wading through them to close them?

I don't think that's a waste of time. It's good to keep track of how much progress we make in any dimension.

Second, when is it okay to reassign a tracker item to yourself or close an item that is assigned to another person? I ask this because Fred has some patches assigned to him that I think I can close myself, but I don't want to step on his toes since they are assigned to him.

All doc issues are automatically assigned to Fred (maybe this needs to be revised); I don't think he'll be offended if you take some work of his chest.

Third, when does someone warrant being mentioned in the ACKS.txt file? Only when they have done some significant body of work? Or does committing even a one-line patch warrant inclusion?

I tend to add people to Misc/ACKS for any code contribution whatsoever, including one-liners.

P.S.: Python got to #6 on SF's most active projects. Maybe I am overdoing the comments on patches. =)

No, please keep it up. :-)
