[PATCH 0/2] Patchwork 2.1.0-rc1: Extra Special OzLabs Edition

[Daniel Axtens]

TL;DR: I want to spin a new version of patchwork for OzLabs so they can
do the migration that speeds up patch listing. I've pushed it to
https://github.com/daxtens/patchwork as I'm not sufficiently confident
in my release-fu to push it to the main repo just yet. Let me know if
it looks good.

>From the release notes:
======

Patchwork 2.1.0 - the Extra Special OzLabs Edition

The key part of this release is a major performance fix -
denormalising the project field into patch model so that counting a
project's patches doesn't require a JOIN. This requires a migration
and so isn't suitable for a stable backport. Event listing in the API
has also been sped up by refactoring the queries.

This release also includes the feature development that had accured in
the mean time, as laid out below*, and numerous bug fixes.

* not in this email, see the patches.

Some other thoughts/notes:

 * I've pushed this to https://github.com/daxtens/patchwork as I'm not
   sufficiently confident in my release-fu to push it to the main repo
   just yet. This includes a tag, v2.1.0-rc1. Stephen, absent any
   rants from you I will push it to the real repo mid-next week

 * I know the patch counting isn't a full fix of everything that could
   or should be denormalised, but it's an ongoing problem and I don't
   want another 6 months of maintainer-guilt about the ongoing impact
   it's having.

 * Normally releases are named after a fabric, but it's hard to find
   good fabrics beginning with E, at least according to the wikipedia
   list. I am very open to renaming/rewording stuff, hence the emails
   with the patches!

 * There's a decent chance I've missed a version number somewhere -
   please check your favourite locations!

 * What else do we want in 2.1? I think at least the return code fix -
   it needs a v3 from me. (I would have done that first but I really
   wanted to get this out tonight/this morning for general awareness
   and comment.) I'm happy to take any more fixes or small things, but
   probably not big things. Feel free to post them and we can review
   them and get them ready to merge as soon as we tag 2.1.0 though!

 * Testing and general feedback would be appreciated. :)

Thanks all for your contributions to Patchwork!

Regards,
Daniel
