Overview

Trivial patches that change just a few lines of code sometimes languish on the mailing list even though they require only a small amount of review. This is often the case for patches that do not fall under an actively maintained subsystem and therefore fall through the cracks.

The trivial patches team take on the task of reviewing and building pull requests for patches that:

  • Do not fall under an actively maintained subsystem.
  • Are single patches or short series (max 2-4 patches).
  • Only touch a few lines of code.

You can hint that your patch is a candidate by CCing qemu-trivial@nongnu.org.

Repositories

Since the trivial patch team rotates maintainership there is only one active repository at a time:

Workflow

The trivial patches team rotates the duty of collecting trivial patches amongst its members. A team member's job is to:

  1. Identify trivial patches on the development mailing list.
  2. Review trivial patches, merge them into a git tree, and reply to state that the patch is queued.
  3. Send pull requests to the development mailing list with Anthony Liguori CCed once a week.

A single team member can be on duty as long as they like. The suggested time is 1 week before handing off to the next member.

Team

If you would like to join the trivial patches team, contact Anthony Liguori and Stefan Hajnoczi. The current team includes:

  • Anthony Liguori
  • Stefan Hajnoczi
