There has been some discussion around excluding large items from the current commitfest, for several reasons. However I don't recall ever seeing a definition of a large item. It seems to be a bit like "I know it when I see it." I've been looking at the current commitfest entries. Based on that I suggest a heuristic that says a commitfest item with patches greater than 5000 lines is large.
That's around 20 items in the current commitfest. I think we need to be able to use some discretion to allow items with more lines or exclude items with less lines that nevertheless have far-reaching impacts, but this seems like a reasonable starting point. We could double that number by reducing the 5000 to 2000, but that seems too restrictive to me.
