I do not know of a way to trigger CI tests from Patchwork, that would perhaps be a question for Mark (added in CC). On a personal note, coming back from the Cauldron, I set myself a goal to do more reviews as part of my daily work. I'm trying to do around 1 hour a day of upstream reviews, and to choose what to review, I use patchwork, sorting patches by oldest date. I check if the patch I'm looking at has already been reviewed, merged, or superseded by a new version, and if so I update its status. Rinse and repeat until I find a patch that needs reviewing. Otherwise, just looking at my inbox's gdb-patches folder with thousands of unread messages, I don't know what to start with. Just by myself, I certainly won't get through the whole list of patches pending review, but I think it is a somewhat fair algorithm. So in that regard, patchwork is useful for me. I wanted to send an announcement on the list to say "hey, patchwork has been cleaned, let's use it!", but I have been procrastinating since I came back. > On formatting, have we considered the benefit of using clang-format for GDB, therefore potentially saving lots of time > in reviews not having to worry about formatting? This often comes up, I am all for it. We need someone to write up a proposal of how this would work (a bit like Bruno did for the attribution tags). I might get to it, but I don't promise anything.
