Hi,

I'd like to discuss reviews of new code imports.

Currently SVN and CVS code imports require review before working. What
are the reasons for this?

Relevant documentation is at:

https://dev.launchpad.net/ReviewingCodeImports

Particular points are:

* For Subversion imports, the most important thing is that people don't
point the import at directory containing trunk, tags, branches
directories, and make a broken and resource-sucking import.

* Apparently Launchpad must not import from apache.org, but I can't see
why, because the bug is private.


The code import review setup process is a less than ideal part of the
Launchpad user experience - today I resorted to asking CHR on #launchpad
to expedite approval of an import of mine after it had sat for 5 days,
and I saw in scrollback that someone else was noting that they'd been
waiting for 2 weeks.

Assuming the problem is lack of people doing review, do I qualify as a
suitably clueful community member to apply for ~vcs-imports?

I'd thoroughly support having you in the ~vcs-imports team, although we should probably have a quick grep through the source to ensure this wouldn't allow you unexpected privileges...

Cheers,
mwh
