Re: [Hamlib-developer] I'm overwhelmed!

[Mikael N. <mik...@fa...>]

Thanks for pointing this out - there's an overwhelming amount of PR activity going on (and my giant PRs are not helping :D).

I try to do _some_ PR reviews, but I'm also currently trying to wrap up the ARDC project
(streaming backends + finally later the test framework, which is a huge thing... but it's coming!),
so I don't have much bandwidth left for the reviews. I try to handle all feedback and further development
of the ARDC project-related features though!

Nate: I think I may have push rights to the repo too - at least the UI looks like it lets me merge PRs. If you're ok with it, I can try to do the full review/test cycle on some PRs (there are a couple of them waiting) and then go for a merge if the contribution looks good - just to get some of the work off your task list.

What I'm also a bit worried about are security related issues in new contributed and if we could improve automated checks with GitHub actions. I will have a look at this.

The new GH actions now do Windows builds automatically, so it helps a bit. They don't flag all warnings yet, which would be a great addition. Should we make the GH actions fail on code warnings - or maybe they could be set up to write comments to the PRs with the build issues noticed? It's a bit time-consuming to find all the warnings from the different builds manually. Thoughts?

73,
