Code review management/status

2011-03-31
After the 1.17 code review sprint, the number of unreviewed new revisions started to increase again (see the automatically generated chart). Mark Hershberger started to assign name tags to revisions, to help developers track reviews that are requested from them.

Tim Starling, Sam Reed, Chad Horohoe and Roan Kattouw devoted part of their time to code review. Despite their efforts, the backlog of unreviewed new commits is still increasing. A new feature in the CodeReview tool since the deployment of MediaWiki 1.17 is the ability to "sign off" on commits. Developers are encouraged to test and sign off on commits, in order to help the team prioritize what is ready for review.
