[Ewan Mellor <Ewan.Mellor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is all great stuff Jay, but it's going to get lost if it's just in email.  http://wiki.openstack.org/LifeWithBzrAndLaunchpad has some of this on, but it's nothing like as clear and succinct as you've got it below.

Could someone break out a "how peer reviews work" wiki page, and put this content on it?  We really need these things to be nice clear steps so that everyone knows what to expect.

> Subject: [Openstack] Working on fixing code after a review? Please mark
> merge proposal Work In Progress!
> 
> Hey all,
> 
> The backlog on code reviews continues to mount:
> https://code.launchpad.net/nova/+activereviews
> 
> One thing that would REALLY help reviewers is the following:
> 
> If you receive one or more reviews that have asked for fixes to your
> branch (Needs Fixing), and you agree to these fixes, please do the
> following:
> 
> * Write a quick comment on the merge proposal acknowledging the review
> and stating you are working on fixing the branch
> * Set the merge proposal status to Work In Progress
> 
> When you do this, your branch gets removed from the list of merge
> proposals that reviewers need to review (the link above), which helps
> reviewers to identify which branches are truly in need of review and
> which branches are actually being worked on after reviews.
> 
> After you make the changes to your branch, please do the following:
> 
> * bzr push your changes to Launchpad
> * Go to your merge proposal and set the status back to Needs Review
> 
> This will trigger:
> 
> * Launchpad to regenerate the diff that is displayed for your branch
> * Launchpad to email all prior reviewers to let them know they need to
> re-review your branch
> 
> Doing these simple steps will make reviewing dramatically easier; the
> side-effect of that is reviews will be quicker and we can get through
> this backlog.
