couldn't find a link to the source code. Could one be added to the user
interface? I think it would help sustain the project.
As Matt already mentioned: it's at
https://github.com/valhallasw/gerrit-patch-uploader . I've added a link
there from the front page, and a 'hip' fork me on GitHub ribbon :-)
I completely missed that the "Committer" name gets updated on changes
such as <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/90002>. I looked at the "Owner"
field and got very confused. I'm not sure there's anything to be done
about this. :-/ A note in the comments or in the commit message (such as
a keyword) might have gotten my attention. This might just be me, though.
I can see how it can be confusing, yes. There are three fields in Gerrit:
- Owner = the Gerrit username that uploaded the first patchset. There is
no way to change this name other than asking an admin.
- PS Author = whoever wrote (most of) the patchset. This is a free-form
field, and is what you fill in in the 'Author' field of GPU.
- PS Committer = whoever uploaded the patchset, but with a free-form user
name field. This becomes '[[mw:user:yourusername]] <
gerritpatchuploader(a)gmail.com>"
I have now added a message that is automatically submitted as comment:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/90698/
If you have any suggestions on how to improve the username mess and/or the
comment, please let me know (or send a pull request!)
