I'm curious whether there is a merge policy in place for those *for-jason branches. Will they be fast forward only or reasonable they may be reset since it's really just a contract for you and the person providing the series, rather than something others should be following. <div><br></div><div>For example.

I wanted to update you on a conversation a few of us have been having<br>
off-list. In order to hasten the speed of development, we're making<br>
some changes to the way things are done.<br>
<br>
All submitted patch series will now live in feature branches. Each<br>
feature branch will be owned by either me (jd), John (jk), Christian<br>
(ch), Ferry (fh), Lukas (lf), or Lars (lh), and will be titled<br>
something like "jk/add-links-to-header". After enough review, and the<br>
feature is ready to land, it will be put into the owner's "for-jason"<br>
branch -- such as "ch/for-jason". Then, when I'm ready, I'll review<br>
and sweep up all the various */for-jason branches (including my own!)<br>
into master, and sometime after that cut a release.<br>
<br>
This should pick up the pace a little bit, because it enables any of<br>
us to more easily review a patch series and get it ready for final<br>
inclusion. So, if you submit a patch series, and you get a reply from<br>
me, John, Christian, Ferry, Lukas, or Lars, saying something like,<br>
"I'll review this," it means it should shortly after wind up in a<br>
feature branch on <<a href="https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/" target="_blank">https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/</a>>.<br>
<br>
I think this will work out well. Looking forward to finally see some<br>
patches land.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Jason<br>
