Written in Python, they have already brought significant improvements to the current workflows. These hooks include keywords that when specified trigger particular actions: the most used are to CC specific email addresses (CCMAIL), to CC bug reports (CCBUG) or to close bug reports (BUG).</p> <p>With the adoption of <a href="http://www.reviewboard.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Review Board</a> to facilitate code reviews, there were also requests for a REVIEW keyword that could close the review requests without asking the submitters to do so manually (which is slow and not always effective). Since the hooks for Git were written in Python, I thought I could give a hand there.</p>
