If you use git format-patch and then git send-email to send it to the koha-patches mailing list. Oh well, I'll try this tomorrow. It's past midnight in my timezone now.
that's not as nessecary the mailing list is the main place Is that information somehow pushed back to bugzilla? Or how do I know someone already posted a patch to the list for a bug I would start to work on?
every patch should have a bug ticket created in bugzilla, *before* the patch is sent to the patches mailing-list so... i search bugzilla to see if someone has already posted a patch to my problem
However, Koha seems to be the first project I met preferring git patches git format-patch'ed git send-email'ed to a patches list. I'll try to get accustomed to that.
i think an little improvement to our current patch workflow, would be to just attach the patch to a bug, in bugzilla an automated bugzilla script could then send that new patch to the patches list this proposed method removes the double-handling of a patch (sending to patches-list and attaching to bugzilla) and would help encourage people to use bugzilla to track their patches, rather than sending the patch to the list, and the patch getting lost a good idea, or not?
