: Even "small" things?! It would be a royal pain in the ass to submit an : issue for every last stupid typo, reformat, and minor thing. I would
a rough rule of thumb: "if you can describe the problem in fewer bytes then the patch would take, don't bother with a jira issue" if someone says in an email "hey i noticed a typo in these javadocs [URL]" or "hey i think there's an off by one error in Yak.fooBar() because of "<" instead of "<=" you don't need to tell them "thanks for pointing that out, but i can't change that until you create a patch and attach it to jira" if someone creates a patch and sends it in an email (or attaches a new/modified source file) you should usually ask them to attach it to jira. the main differentiator (as i understand it) is not not "size" of contribution, but "significance" ... something that's an obvious bug/mistake/typo once someone points you to a line number can just be fixed. you (the committer) are writing the code to fix a bug pointed out by a contributor -- but when a contributor submits a "significant" chunk of code/functionality, we need Jira to track that they "Grant license to ASF for inclusion in ASF works (as per the Apache License ยง5)" -Hoss
