[Starlingx-discuss] Contrib or Experimental tools location ??

Core reviewers should be watching the repos on which they're a core. If there's a specific person required for an update as an SME, add them. But otherwise, I wouldn't think it should be necessary to explicitly add the cores to a review.

I have a script that can be used to automatically add code reviewers for a commit (instead of opening the list of core reviewers in one browser tab and manually add them one by one in the review page). Should this be a GitHub gist, a small repo under my GitHub account or a subfolder in starlingx-staging/unofficial-tools-where-code-goes-to-die?

Thanks,
Daniel

I am not against having a place for unofficial code to go and rot, I
am against it being associated with the StarlingX name in a way that
drags down the perception of the code we produce.  And that is all we
produce in the end, code in repositories.

To me 'curated' includes vetting suitability for purpose.  Untested
code is broken code.

I would support a repo in github.com/starlingx-staging or an index
anywhere but not a repo in Gerrit without meeting a certain minimum of
quality and accountability.
