I can no longer be the maintainer of ASDF unless I gain some control over the contents of the repository.
Right now, I am just reacting to changes other people are making. This is ok if I am in the loop, but if other developers are simply wading into the repository and committing changes that I have no idea are coming, then I cannot do my job.
The last straw for me was last night's 3.1.7.23 commits, which completely blind-sided me and also invalidated work-in-progress I had outstanding.
So, we need to either
- develop some informal means of clearing coming commits through me,
perhaps using this mailing list;
- lock out other developers and change the main repository only
through merge requests (this is not my favored alternative, as it requires more busy work on my part); or
I think this would be the best choice. ASDF is no longer in need of quick changes so delaying commits and pondering longer by way of a code review would be better.
