Re: [incubation] clarification request for when CQs are needed
|
Uh oh that's a good one. :) I recommend checking with your PMC.
Personally, I would say that a CQ is not needed. Yes, it is new content but it's not code. The same contribution could have happened as a wiki page. We do not require CQs for wiki pages - no matter how long they are. I believe content added to the wiki is covered by the website terms and condition.
Is this a Gerrit review, pull request or Bugzilla patch?
Did the contributor signed the CLA?

Up until this point, we did not have a documented coding standard, so technically it's "new content" but I have to admit, I felt kind of silly opening a CQ for it (which I did anyway under the guise of "better safe than sorry" : see https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11134if you're really interested).
