Contribution Review Policy

All non-trivial branches need a code review.

Examples of trivial branches:

  • Translation updates
  • Release changes (e.g. version bump)

Examples of non-trivial branches:

  • Normal bug fixes
  • Features
  • Refactors

Review Flow

  1. Develop a contribution as a bzr branch

  2. Push it to the relevant project space on Launchpad.net (e.g. lp:~<your username>/utouch-geis/my-new-feature)

  3. Propose merging the branch into the project trunk
  4. A separate member of ~utouch-team will review the branch
  5. Once approved by any member of ~utouch-team, anyone may merge the branch into trunk
