1Trivial Patches
2===============

4Overview
5--------
6
7Trivial patches that change just a few lines of code sometimes languish
8on the mailing list even though they require only a small amount of
9review. This is often the case for patches that do not fall under an
10actively maintained subsystem and therefore fall through the cracks.
11
12The trivial patches team take on the task of reviewing and building pull
13requests for patches that:
14
15- Do not fall under an actively maintained subsystem.
16- Are single patches or short series (max 2-4 patches).
17- Only touch a few lines of code.
18
19**You should hint that your patch is a candidate by CCing
20qemu-trivial@nongnu.org.**

22Repositories
23------------
24
25Since the trivial patch team rotates maintainership there is only one
26active repository at a time:
27
28- git://github.com/vivier/qemu.git trivial-patches - `browse <https://github.com/vivier/qemu/tree/trivial-patches>`__

30Workflow
31--------
32
33The trivial patches team rotates the duty of collecting trivial patches
34amongst its members. A team member's job is to:
35
361. Identify trivial patches on the development mailing list.
372. Review trivial patches, merge them into a git tree, and reply to state
38   that the patch is queued.
393. Send pull requests to the development mailing list once a week.
40
41A single team member can be on duty as long as they like. The suggested
42time is 1 week before handing off to the next member.
