I'd prefer if we did not frame this in term of trusting people or not, this is not what this is about. We are all humans, we all make mistakes, and we all have different skills. Patch reviews are just a way to tap into other people skillsets in order to improve the project overall, and to try to avoid these human mistakes as much as possible. > There has been no big issues so far, only you complaining for no valid > technical reasons. Let's stick to that before enforcing rules. Well, I did complain, Jeremy did too. Coming getting pushed "because they are trivial" is something newish and mostly done by you. I don't think the obvious conclusion to this discussion is to just do whatever you decided, quite the contrary. Let's stop trying to be smart in deciding what is trivial or not, and let's keep sending all patches to the ML, this is not a big constraint, and will result in less frictions. Christophe
