[llvm-dev] [RFC] Helping release management

[Robinson, Paul via llvm-dev]

Filing a PR for *every* fix is overkill.  But filing a PR to express "please merge this to the branch" (if there isn't already a PR) seems reasonable.

Typically, what I had in mind was things like typos/thinko, that are bugs, that we notice a few minutes after we made the “main” commit. I do not want we have to file a PR that is going to repeat what we are going to say in the commit message.

Yeah, I agree, we shouldn't have to file PRs for that kind of stuff. Quick fixes for the build or tests on other platforms obviously fall into this category.

Do release managers have problems keeping track of these kinds of changes in practice, though? You can always cut the branch from some quiescent period on the weekend of night before the cut.
