I should clarify that it wasn’t an official process. It was just a suggestion that reached some consensus. - Bret ________________________________ From: devel@edk2.groups.io on behalf of Bret Barkelew via groups.io Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2020 8:23:45 AM To: Ard Biesheuvel ; Bret Barkelew Cc: Bret Barkelew ; devel@edk2.groups.io ; Yao, Jiewen ; Dandan Bi ; Jian J Wang ; Hao A Wu ; Liming Gao ; Jordan Justen ; Laszlo Ersek ; Andrew Fish ; Ni, Ray Subject: Re: [edk2-devel] [EXTERNAL] Re: [PATCH v9 00/13] Add the VariablePolicy feature I followed the process that was agreed upon in this list: I opened bugs to every platform maintainer with explicit details of what needed to be changed and waited a full month before making any further progress with the main patches (adding a month to the completion time). I’m wrapping things up to take a vacation next week, but if there are still problems when I return, I can probably contribute to one or two platforms. - Bret ________________________________ From: Ard Biesheuvel Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2020 8:19:37 AM To: Bret Barkelew Cc: Bret Barkelew ; devel@edk2.groups.io ; Yao, Jiewen ; Dandan Bi ; Jian J Wang ; Hao A Wu ; Liming Gao ; Jordan Justen ; Laszlo Ersek ; Andrew Fish ; Ni, Ray ; Bret Barkelew Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [PATCH v9 00/13] Add the VariablePolicy feature On 11/19/20 5:15 PM, Bret Barkelew wrote: > Those bugs and recommendations were sent out months ago.
