Greg and Dan have previously said that the staging tree is a good place
for newcomers to submit checkpatch cleanup patches. However, I think
there are a few tweaks that could be made to the Eudyptula Challenge to
avoid this noise/frustration:
- No need to send to lkml, the staging tree ML is probably fine.
- Don't mention Eudyptula Challenge, it's not relevant to the patch.
* It looks like you want a cookie. We have none.
- Submit the patch to the Challenge admins first for review. This
patch submission should have never made the cut.
- No S-o-B
- MIME attachment
- Subject line is just wrong
- Full name missing in From:
I've worked with several participants of the challenge and never saw
this many things wrong with a patch submission. Either the admins are
dropping the ball, or this participant got loose somehow. :)
It makes me wonder if they should start with a git workflow from day
one? It would prevent a lot of these avoidable mistakes.
thx,
Jason.
