Open Stack

I just wanted to highlight to people that there seems to be a series of 
garbage patches in various projects [1] which are basically doing things 
like fixing a single typo in a code comment, or very narrowly changing 
http to https in links within docs.

Also +1ing ones own changes.

I've been trying to snuff these out in nova, but I see it's basically a 
pattern widespread across several projects.

This is the boilerplate comment I give with my -1, feel free to employ 
it yourself.

"Sorry but this isn't really a useful change. Fixing typos in code 
comments when the context is still clear doesn't really help us, and 
mostly seems like looking for padding stats on stackalytics. It's also a 
drain on our CI environment.

If you fixed all of the typos in a single module, or in user-facing 
documentation, or error messages, or something in the logs, or something 
that actually doesn't make sense in code comments, then maybe, but this 
isn't one of those things."

I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but this is annoying to the point I 
felt the need to say something publicly.
