Notes on today patch pilot reviews

[Sebastien Bacher]

Hey everybody,

Just dumping my first patch pilot notes for those interested ;-)

* bug #689741: reviewed the gtk patch attached and the upstream bug,
backported the git commit corresponding to the bug (different fix) to
natty

* bug #683076: pidgin sru to fix icq on lucid, unsubscribed the sponsors
since the upload as already in the sru queue

* lp:~udienz/ubuntu/maverick/checkbox/checkbox.fix.514401: sru for
maverick but the diff is changing string and breaking translation, did
set to needs fixing

* bug #597895: xorg fixes for a crasher, the bug has several patches,
some commited upstream some not, asked for some extra infos and pinged
#ubuntu-x about it

* bug #325581: kensington mouse issue, the bug has several patches and
workaround but is confusing, asked for details

* bug #688781: backport of a libsqlite performance issue fix, reviewed
and sponsored as a maverick sru

* bug #619932: empathy theme change waiting on design input, pinged
people on IRC and on the bug

* bug #688918: unsubscribed sponsors since that's blocked on mir and
some changes from the submitter to do

* bug #662194: turned the description in the comment to a bug and
uploaded to natty

* bug #487789: gnome-media patch, upstream said it would be ready to
commit after one tweak and didn't pick up since, uploaded to natty

* bug #687976: unsubscribed ubuntu-sponsors since there is a
corresponding merge request on the list with newer comments

* sponsorized evolution and evolution-data-server sru updates

* bug #690709: synced libcap-ng

* bug #386017: unsubscribing the sponsors, the patches there need to go
upstream and didn't get updated since karmic


I've commented on some others bugs and did some pings on IRC as well.
Two small notes on issues I ran into during the day:
- bugs with a merge request are often listed twice (once for the bugs,
once for the merge request). Not sure what the best way to avoid those
duplication is, I've unsubscribed the ubuntu-sponsors from some bugs
since reviews where being done on the merge request
- the is no easy way to get merge requests out of the queue, often "Need
Works" is not available as an option and there is no team to
unsubscribe, how do we mark than those need an update?
