Should probably clarify that one. It's in there because there are some situations where we find obvious typos (e.g. 'souce' instead of 'source' in DEPEND) and file a bug to alert the maintainer. If the maintainer fixes it within a few days, there's no problem, but if not there's no point in letting the bug sit there -- someone from QA should be able to fix it themselves. Equally, we don't want to just fix stuff without telling people that they made a mistake, because then they're more likely to do it again. | * The QA team will maintain a list of current "QA Standards".

Hrm, do we want to include the thing about the QA standards providing rationale and explanations rather than hard rules here? -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Wearer of the shiny hat) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
