Create an email template to request for testing/reviewing a package
Some emails sent to the mailing list request reviews or assistance with testing. However, these messages often lack enough information to make the request actionable for others. Commonly missing details include (but are not limited to):
- The Git repository where the package can be found (it’s not always under the lts namespace)
- The branch name
- Any specific changes the requester would like a second opinion on
- The steps already taken to test the changes
- The reasoning behind choosing change X over Y
Without this level of detail, it becomes difficult for others to volunteer help. As a result, many of these requests remain unanswered for some time — often until someone replies asking for more information.
