<br>
Recently I have had the opportunity to discuss with some core QGIS<br>
developers and we agreed that it would be a good idea if the QGIS<br>
organization could fund a few weekly or monthly hours for PR reviews.<br>
<br>
Here is my quick and initial proposal of requisites for the candidates:<br>
<br>
- must be an active well known and long time QGIS C++ core developer<br>
(for example from the top last 5 years committers [1])<br>
- ideally we'd need more than a single developer: there is not a<br>
single developer who is able to review all different areas of the code<br>
base<br>
- available for regular work (fixed number of weekly or monthly hours,<br>
to be determined)<br>
<br>
Note: the above list is just my quick ideas, feel free to suggest<br>
anything you think best.<br>
<br>
I would like this topic to be added to the next PSC meeting agenda.<br>
<br>
Kind regards.<br>
<br>
