commit 60d06211469d5291f8e73920ab886ee857466216
Author: Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>

TAG2UPLOAD-MANAGER-PROTOCOL: Convey the user's email address
Currently, oracled (in the person of d-r-s) sometimes sends an email only to
the mailing list, even though the Manager has already obtained their address
from the tagger line in the tag. It does this because it wants to avoid
parsing the tag before verifying the signature (something that the Manager,
which is much less powerful, is quite willing to to).
This poses a problem for oracled faithfully reporting "whether it sent an
email". Do we mean to the list, or to the tagger? We want to email the
tagger, really.
Here, I propose that oracled should always receive a pre-massaged email
address (in a verifiably safe character set) from the manager. It can then
safely include this as the recipient of its emails, even before it has
verified the signature.

commit f3ae699e2c3bcb0944eb6370e11f9d3aa207ca5d
Author: Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
Date: Sat Jan 10 12:14:10 2026 +0000
tests: poll-loop-schedule: Make long polls start much faster
On my system this reduces the wall clock time of t2u-integration, when run in
isolation, by a about 5x, from 49s to 10s.

tagupload-oracled: Send 'retriable' when we can't take locks
The jobs are already effectively retriable because we haven't sent
'commit-to-public-upload', but this means we inform the Manager properly of
what we know about the problem.
