good to write down explicitly.

---|---|---|
51–52 | If you upload the patch via the web interface, you should add "libc++" to the Reviewers field, and also add "libc++" to the Tags field. Adding "libc++" to the Subscribers field is unnecessary. (At least, that's what I've always done, and nobody's complained at me yet!) | |
60–62 | It would be good to find a way to indicate who belongs to this group; otherwise Maybe we don't want to put the names right here, either because it'll bit-rot (but maybe we should maintain the list!) or because we're too modest (but we shouldn't be!). But it'd sure be nice to do something explicit. |

51–52 | Above, we ask that folks upload patches from the command-line using arc. We could change that if you feel strongly about enabling that use case, but TBH I feel that we gain more from new contributors just using arc diff (and everything happening as it should) instead of trying to use the web interface. We've had hiccups with that before (and I'm even surprised it works nicely for you). | |
60–62 | Oh, I guess I'm the only one aware about this, but the members can be seen here: https://reviews.llvm.org/project/members/64/ I'll add a link! And while we're at it -- it is worth mentioning that both @var-const and @philnik are now part of that group. Note that as we expand the group, my goal is to reduce the review bottlenecks without decreasing the code+tests quality or losing a coherent overall direction for the library. I think that can be achieved by people reviewing stuff and approving only when they are confident that they understand the area of the patch and its implications, and reaching out to the right people when necessary. |
@Quuxplusone LMK if you care strongly about the web interface review doc and I can add it (even though I would prefer to steer contributors towards arc diff).
