Description Mike West 2013-01-31 08:44:53 PST
In the fairly mechanical patch for https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108476, I touched WebKit2 code without noticing. It would be a good idea, I think, if the watchlist would note the necessity of owners approval in the same way that it currently does for the Chromium public API.

I've suggested "Please wait for approval from a member of the WebKit2 OWNERS filebefore submitting this patch, as it contains changes to WebKit2.", but I'm of course happy to change the wording to whatever the WebKit2 team would prefer. :)

I'll fix that, thanks for the review.

I'd appreciate someone on the Owners list weighing in here before I land this, however, since it affects how the change in process is presented to developers. I think the text is uncontroversial, but I'd like confirmation of that. :)
