To reduce spam, the ipxe-devel mailing list is configured to hold mails sent by non-members for moderator approval.
The iPXE policy for moderator approvals is straightforward:
The goal is to eliminate all spam via the list, while minimising the burden of moderation.
A github user ipxe-devel
is configured to receive github notifications at the address ipxe-devel@lists.ipxe.org, in order that github pull requests end up being forwarded to the ipxe-devel mailing list. The list is configured to automatically accept mails with a sender address matching ^[^@]+@reply\.github\.com$
, to avoid the need for every github-originated message to be manually moderated.
The iPXE policy for commit log messages is:
[subject]
tag and a brief description of the change[subject]
tag represents the driver or subsystem being modified. In most cases, this can be deduced by looking at git log for the file(s) being modified by this patch.Signed-off-by:
lineReported-by:
), testers (Tested-by:
), original authors of a completely reimplemented patch (Originally-implemented-by:
) etc. Since many contributions come via IRC, the (private) nickmap page can be used to look up full names and e-mail addresses suitable for inclusion in the commit log.
