Comment 11 for bug 171856

Hi guys, just trying to get my head around all this.

I committed this and milestoned for release in 0.47, but I assumed that Aaron and/or a release warden would check it out before the proper release. I was trying to flag somehow that this is new and needs to be approved. That's why I set it as Wish List and Fix Committed, not Fix Released. Should I have instead marked it as Fix Released and nominated it for release 0.47? Or just leave any milestoning/nomination because it's automatically in? Seems like it won't get noticed by release wardens then.

I'm also unsure, but based on Maximillian's comments, but do some people feel that applying patches treads on toes if the bug is assigned to someone else? I merely wanted to get it into trunk so that people would find any problems with it. I've seen some good patches that didn't make it into 0.46 because they didn't get attention. Should I not commit patches when the bug is assigned to someone else? Please be frank, because I don't want to offend others.
