A "handler" handles things, i.e. is the person who physically handles
something.
In UPS, if I talk about my "package handler", it is the person who is
taking my
package from point A to Z.
But we are not talking about a "package handler" but rather a "Package Handler". If you are _capitalizing_ "Package Handler", it is a title rather than a description. The only language I know where capitalization implies anything than a "proper noun" or a sentence beginning is German.
It is a misleading name that should be changed. I thought I was the
patch
handler when reading that document because I am the one handling my
patch. English is your native language, so I am at a loss that you can't see the difference between "Patch Handler" and "patch handler". I am also at a loss how you can consider every patch submitter to be in charge of handling the entire review process. Where would that leave the Patch Meister? At any rate, there is no point in discussing just how it is possible to misinterpret the text in this manner short of considering its authors to have been writing under the influence. If we can make it even more clear, there is no point in not doing so. Which is the same as with writing code. https://codereview.appspot.com/7498045/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
