135For small patches you may want to CC the Trivial Patch Monkey
136trivial@rustcorp.com.au set up by Rusty Russell; which collects "trivial"
137patches. Trivial patches must qualify for one of the following rules:
138 Spelling fixes in documentation
139 Spelling fixes which could break grep(1).
140 Warning fixes (cluttering with useless warnings is bad)
141 Compilation fixes (only if they are actually correct)
142 Runtime fixes (only if they actually fix things)
143 Removing use of deprecated functions/macros (eg. check_region).
144 Contact detail and documentation fixes
145 Non-portable code replaced by portable code (even in arch-specific,
146 since people copy, as long as it's trivial)
147 Any fix by the author/maintainer of the file. (ie. patch monkey
148 in re-transmission mode)
