[Koha-devel] Signing-off a patch for a customer

[Paul Poulain]

Hello koha-devel,

I just pushed a follow-up for bug 6858. If you look at the patch, you'll
see that the author is from BibLibre, as well as the sign-offer. But if
you look more carefully on the patch comments, you may understand that
Stephane Delaye has signed-off "in the name of the library". We're
facing here a case where the library don't want/can't sign-off their
patch (they don't know how to do it and don't want to bother with doing
it. They just said this patch worked for them)

At BibLibre, we have 3 project managers: Stéphane Delaye / Gaetan
Boisson / François Charbonnier. They are librarians and are doing the
glue between the library our customer and our developers.
they know how to sign-off a patch.

I want, in this mail, request that those 3 ppl from BibLibre (and only
them) can be sign-offers for patches written by another BibLibre
developer, once the library has confirmed it works.

I propose that we define a standard message, something like
Signed-off-by: Delaye Stephane <stephane.delaye at biblibre.com>
  patch validated by <LIBRARY NAME>, signed-off in their name

Can I have your agreement with this idea ?
(of course, in case another support provider has the same kind of
situation, this would also be applicable. It's not something I want for
BibLibre only)
