Re: [iot-pmc] Small patch exceptions?

[Jens Reimann <jreimann@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not aware of such an exception.

The Legal Process Poster [1] contains the most detailed information from what I know. It works a little bit like "Wo ist das kleine rote Auto" ;-) … just look for:

---

Is it less than 1,000
lines of code and
configuration files
and other source?

---

There you can see, that it is possible to get through that process without a CQ, but not without signing the ECA.

I had a chat with EMO in the past about the GitHub "noreply" address, the ECA and the Signed-off header. Back then it was not possible. You need to sign the ECA, and with your proper e-mail address.

I agree that it might be overkill for this specific PR. I would recommend to raise that topic with EMO.

Cheers

Jens

Dear PMC colleagues,

This is probably a noob question, but I think to remember that in the past there was something like a „small patch exception“, which allowed to accept typo fixes and single line comment/documentation changes to be accepted without requiring an ECA from the contributor.

I am not sure whether I only dreamt of that exception, because I cannot find anything about it in the committer handbook nor anywhere on the web…

I’m just asking as I am not sure how to correctly handle https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/pull/6117 - asking the person to add a sign-off, register an Eclipse account and sign the ECA just to change an „an“ to an „and“ is imho the safest way to scare him off and never ever see him again…

So do we have any exceptional rules that I am not aware of and that can be applied here? How do you handle such situations?

Cheers,

Kai
