## #74789 — Andrea Faulds — 2014-06-09T01:34:34+00:00

Good evening,

It’s worrying that pull requests to php-src on GitHub often go neglected. To solve this, I propose an account be set up which would “watch” the repo on GitHub and then have its email address be redirected to internals. This would mean internals would be notified of every new pull request.

Could this happen?

Thanks.

So, something like git-pulls@lists.php.net ?

However, does anyone actually subscribe to that list? If it was on internals, I think they’d get more attention. At the moment people have to come here just to have a hope of seeing their requests merged.

This email thread aims to explore mitigative approaches for the status quo,
i.e. mostly silent (or stale for that matter) discussion threads on most
outstanding pull requests; if what we currently have was already
sufficient, surely this thread wouldn't have been necessary, unless you
mean to say that we just need more git-pulls list subscriptions :)

Looks like at least Derick and myself.

Sure, and lots of people *not* wanting this noise added to the list.

That's unfortunate.

I think we should make the php-pulls list work again (if we can), then
anyone who wants to subscribe can do so. Then it's just a matter of letting
people know that the list exists.
