Could someone give me an example of how we are supposed to improve the<br>
patch or commit message when one get a -1 with e.g. the question:<br>
"Why do you use getattr(foo, "bar", None)?"<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>By calling them out in the review or on irc, and explain to them when its appropriate to use a -1.

when the answer is "Well, otherwise it will raise an error and the code<br>
will fail" because the reviewer do not know how getattr() works.<br>
