Access to the Python results is currently down, but has anyone actually accessed the Coverity scan results any time recently? Or who even has access anymore?

Please commit any PEP changes to hg.python.org/peps. Also, sorry for the span on -checkins, I should not have enabled the notification hook before pushing all changes :) Georg

There are two versions of the Contributor Agreement
by Victor Stinner 24 মার্চ, 2011

24 মার্চ, 2011

http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/contrib-form-python/ and http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/contrib-form/ It looks like the first one is old, because http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/ points to the second one. Victor

I added a boolean flag to the bug tracker indicating what user accounts belong to committers. Please check that the flag is set in Your Details, Is Committer. If it's not, please let me know. Regards, Martin

Roundup integration hook added
by Georg Brandl 8 মার্চ, 2011

8 মার্চ, 2011

Thanks to Kelsey Hightower, we now have a hook that notifies Roundup of commit messages that reference issues. *** To make this work, you need to use a hg user name in the form *** "User Name <email@address>" AND make sure Roundup knows of this *** email address. To check this, go to "Your Details" in Roundup *** and make sure the address is either in "E-mail address" or in *** "Alternate E-mail addresses". Then if you put "#12345", "issue 12345" or "issue12345" in a commit message, this commit message will be added as a comment on the Roundup issue with a link to the changeset when it is pushed to the central repo. If you prefix this with one of "close", "closing", "closed", "closes" (or the same verb forms of "fix"), the issue will also be closed automatically. Please let us know of any bugs you encounter. Georg

As far as I am concerned, adding code to the repository that is not covered by a contributor agreement is a recipe for disaster, and I would like to hear what other committers think. I'm not sure how or when the committers list was dropped from our conversation, but I hope you don't mind me adding it back for that purpose. regards Steve

Hello, Ross Logerwall has been contributing patches for several months (both bug fixes and new features). 28 changesets bear his name. I would like to propose him as a committer (is this still the appropriate word?). Regards Antoine.
