DRAFT - Approval Template

[Kelly O'Hair]

I liked Dalibor's JDK7 Update approval template at http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7u/approval-template.html

For OpenJDK6 What I was thinking was:

-------- DRAFT ----------

OpenJDK 6: Push Approval Request Template

Push requests for OpenJDK 6 Project forest (http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6)
SHOULD be sent to jdk6-dev at openjdk.java.net and follow this template:


Subject: OpenJDK6 Request for approval for CR $NR - $Synopsis

With the body of the email containing:

  * if the change applies to JDK 7, it needs to have been integrated into the JDK 7
    Update repositories first.
    Refer to http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7u/ for JDK 7 Update procedures.

  * if the change applies to the Oracle JDK 6 Update releases, include any information
    you have with regards to whether it was fixed in any JDK 6 Update release, or not.
    Recommendations on whether the change should or should not be included in a
    JDK 6 Update release can help the Oracle Sustaining team.

  * either a link to the publicly visible bug/CR on the bugs.sun.com site
    (or its equivalent), or a description of the change so a bug/CR can be created.
 
  * either a link to the publicly visible webrev or a link to the JDK 7 (or JDK 7 Update)
    changeset, in case it's the the same patch.
    If the review is taking place somewhere else, a link to the public review thread

  * if the fix has been reviewed the list of reviewers

Let me know what you think.
