Hi,
>- Have an "API review board", and for
A review board would indeed be a good thing to have, not necessarily
restricted to API reviews only.
The problem also currently is that reviewers are distracted by a lot of
mundane things (check for compilation, compiler warnings, check
indentation style, style issues, check for potential performance issues,
messages, spelling, functionality smoke testing, checking autotests...),
potentially over quite a few review rounds.
If there was a review board (supported by more automated testing) making
sure each change passes all those criteria before a developer gets to
see it, it would be a lot easier to focus on the API.
