Thread: commitfest app bug/feature

Hello,

Some comments/bug report about the commitfest web app which just bite 
me:-)

When creating a patch with the commitfest app, if the thread does not 
exist the application seems to reject the creation, so you may resubmit 
because you know the thread is going to exist soon... Well, this is a bad 
idea:-)

Indeed the first submission, although it looked like it had failed, has 
really been created anyway, and the resubmission creates another entry. If 
you click again, you get a third. And so on.

Maybe the description should be unique at least per commitfest?

Then there is no way to remove a patch from the application. You end up 
marking them as "Rejected", which does not make much sense, see the bottom 
of the 2015-06 commitfest list...

Maybe a "Duplicate" status would be better, and the ability to actually 
remove a stupid entry would be even nicer, although maybe not desirable, 
ot sure. And/or some way to prevent duplicates based on the description...

It is possible to remove patches from the set, but administrator
rights are necessary. If there are duplicated entries that you would
like to get removed, simply mention them here and I'll remove them. I
do some cleanup of duplicate entries from time to time though, you are
not the first one to get bitten by that.

Good. Maybe this right could be granted to the person who as created the 
patch entry in the CF?

Sure.

Feel free to remove the stupid "Rejected" entries at the end of the 
2015-06 CF: there are currently 11 "pgbench allow '=' in \set" (mine) and 
2 "configure can't detect proper pthread flags -- fix".

ISTM that an additional "Duplicate" or "To remove" status could be a tag 
for admins to remove the entries?

This looks like an overkill to me. Entries with the same description
headline mean the same thing.

Sure.

My point was to provide a mean to signal explicitely that an entry can be 
removed, as removing it is not an option for the lay man, and all other 
status do not correspond to reality (Why put Rejected or Returned with 
feedback, as it is not the case in?). Morover the description if different 
submitions might be slightly different.

ISTM that sending a mail to hacker to remove spurious entries in the CF 
app is a little overkill too.
