Upstream flag

[denise]

After discussion with tupshin and henrylyne this past week, we've figured out that the best way for us to get patches committed upstream to LJ is to create a new flag in our Bugzilla, which I've done: now, when you upload a patch, you can also set the "Upstream" flag, which will call things to Henry's attention. He's agreed to be our liaison.

This flag should be used when you're uploading a patch that also patches a bug that appears on LJ. It shouldn't be used for new features or for things that patch bugs that only appear on DW.

If you've got things that have already been resolved/fixed that you think should be pulled upstream, comment here and I'll assemble a list for Henry and Tupshin.

Hmmm. The only thing that comes to mind for the patches I've done is http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613, which is in an LJ-repo, not one of ours (but fixing it means that we can pull the fix downstream and will fix things on our end, too).

I initially submitted it via the lj support board, and just got a reply saying it's now in JIRA, so it may already be on the radar, but no harm in mentioning it in the list?

ETA: I just realized I can upload the patch / flag it upstream, to go through the normal channels! Have done so, please ignore comment :)
