Hey,
I have observed a difference in opinion between two groups of people on gerrit, which unfortunately is causing bad blood on both sides. I'm therefore interested in hearing your opinion about the following scenario:
Someone makes a sound commit. The commit has a clear commit message, though there is a single typo in it. Is it helpful to -1 the commit because of the typo?
This is a non issue in the very near future. Once we upgrade (testing now, planning for *Very Soon* after eqiad migration), we'll have the ability to edit commit messages and topics directly from the UI. I think this will save people a lot of time downloading/amending changes just to fix typos.
Personally, I think all typos should be fixed, since this becomes an immutable part of the history once submitted. But hopefully this will be much easier for people soon :)
