Peer review is done via the +mailing list and IRC notifications (see "Automatic Issue Updates" above). +However, changes to the tracker website itself (e.g. the files in bin/) +should be vetted and approved before being committed. The preferred way +to do this is to send a patch to the +debian-security-tracker@lists.debian.org mailing list. Commits are checked for syntax errors before they are actually committed, and you'll receive an error and your commit is aborted if it is in error. |
