[Qgis-developer] notifying developers on hub (and new credentials support)

[Sandro Santilli]

I'm chasing a bug in the only testcase we have for the PostgreSQL
provider and could not figure out how to "ping" other developers
on an issue.

The OSGeo trac instances have a "Cc" field for that, and github
has the @mention trick. Is there an equivalent thing for redmine ?

Nyall: taking the chance to notify here, the issue is that the test
hangs when not being able to reach the database, and I suspect this
has to do with credentials checking, due to this message being printed
right before entering a select loop and never coming out of it:

 195: credentials for dbname='qgis_test' sslmode=disable
 195: message: could not connect to server: No such file or directory

The printout comes from QgsCredentialsConsole::request, so I guess
the test is not using an appropriate-for-test QgsCredential subclass
(which should just never prompt the user).

The ticket is here, if you want to give an hint about how tests
should be dealing with this problem. I guess we'd want a
QgsCredentialsAuto or something ?
