New kernel patches review management

New kernel patches review management

[nobuhiro1.iwamatsu]

Hi,

I considered using the gitlab wiki to switch the current patch review
management to another.

The gitlab wiki can be used as a regular git repository and can be
viewed from his browser by writing its contents in markdown.

  e.g. git clone git@gitlab.com:cip-project/cip-kernel/linux-cip.wiki.git

It can be created using the API on the project wiki[0]. Since
namespaces are available, we can also create hierarchies such as
5.10.y/v5.10.77 [1].
The wiki page is first filled with the commit ID, then the CIP kernel
developer writes the name after the commit they plan to review.

The commit content of [1] is an example, so please let me know if you
have any opinions about the format and others.

Best regards,
  Nobuhiro

It would be helpful if each line would also contain the commit title.
Other than that it looks good to me.

This looks good.

I believe this is too simple. We should include patch titles, so that
it is easier to review whole series. I also believe we should include
related patches from 4.19/4.4, so that they are reviewed together with
corresponding 5.10 change.

I'm currently using this format, and scripts to generate it are
already in the repository. Could we use that for review management,
too?
                            v-- patch title
                      v-- stable tree version

		       configuration, " " means likely not relevant to us
            v-- stable commit id, not quite reliable
