As some of you know, I've stepped up as co-maintainer of libgit2 along with Shawn, who has precious little time to handle the patches that come along. Happily, this seems to have spurred some interest in the community and patches have started arriving for various parts of the system. However, I'm not the expert on any parts of the git core, and my knowledge of buildtools other than gcc et al is scarce, so I need help reviewing the patches that come in.

Unless I hear cries against it, I'll ask patch submitters to send their patches to git@vger from now on, with "[libgit2 PATCH x/n]" prefix for their patches so those who are not interested in libification can easily filter out such threads. Any help reviewing patches would be much appreciated.

To the libgit2 contributors: Please start sending patches to git@vger.kernel.org, with me (ae@op5.se) on Cc if no cries of outrage follow this email.

Thanks all.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.

I think this is a perfectly fine and logical idea.
