Update: please check the commit message as description.

It is currently not clear if a PR approval also approves the
fast-tracking request. This simplifies things by explicitly asking
the collaborators to remove the label if they disagree with it and
that any PR approval is also a fast-tracking approval from as soon
as the label is attached to the PR.

@nodejs/collaborators PTAL (sorry for pinging everyone but since this
is important for each one of us, it's important that everyone is on the same
page).

Checklist
  • make -j4 test (UNIX), or vcbuild test (Windows) passes
  • tests and/or benchmarks are included
  • documentation is changed or added
  • commit message follows commit guidelines

Sorry, something went wrong.

+1 for the the simplicity, but I'd prefer to have the possibility to approve a PR without approving or rejecting the fast-tracking request without having to explicitely state this. I liked the convention to add a comment along the lines of "Please add 👍 here to approve fast-tracking" (I think @vsemozhetbyt introduced that?).

I like the use of a comment with upvotes. What's wrong with it?

If we give a LG to a PR, should we not also agree on fast-tracking or not? If someone disagrees, removing the label right away is best :)

That way it's always clear what the intention is and it's more straight forward than having an extra comment that we have to upvote.

If we give a LG to a PR, should we not also agree on fast-tracking or not?

@BridgeAR I don't think we should make that implication.

  • IMO approvals on GitHub are not flexible enough anyway, e.g. it would be great if one could only approve code or docs or fast-tracking etc. If anything, it should be possible to approve smaller parts, and this change contradicts that.
  • It is an additional burden while reviewing: What if I am not sure whether the change should be fast-tracked but I still want to approve it?
  • It is easy to miss a label: Oh wait, I approved fast-tracking? (Passive vs active approval)
  • Setting a label doesn't notify people who previously approved, a comment does.
  • If one has already approved the change and later notices that the fast-track label was set afterwards, one needs to approve the change again by going to "files → review → approve" instead of just clicking 👍 on a comment.

No strong preferences here, but a couple of quick thoughts:

  • The 👍-a-comment solution has been effectively the standard way of doing this for a long time now, and has worked pretty well
  • As a rule of thumb, explicit > implicit, and implicitly reading an approval of one thing as an approval of something else is something we’d probably want to avoid
  • The solution suggested here (adding/removing labels as necessary) might play better with a commit queue

I just reworded it to keep the comment type but to be specific about it.

approve both the pull request and the fast-tracking request, and the necessary
CI testing is done.
`fast-track` and add a comment that collaborators may upvote. Please mention the
collaborators that gave a approval before in that comment. If someone disagrees

Approving, but I don't think this PR should be fast tracked to allow other collaborators a chance to review (especially given that all collaborators were pinged).

LGTM, but I agree with @richardlau, this shouldn't be fast-tracked.

Thanks :) I just added it because it already had a lot of LGs.

I am somewhat puzzled why the linter failed.

It's possible that the master branch has been force-pushed since this PR branched. Can you do a rebase and try again? @BridgeAR

Currently the documentation is not specific how fast-tracking should
be applied. This specifies exactly how things should be done to prevent
confusion.
