</div>
<div class="">"NOTE: If you are fixing something trivial, that is not actually a functional defect in the software, you can do that without filing a bug ticket, if you don't want it to be tracked when we tally this work between releases. If you do this, just
mention it in the commit message that it's a trivial change that does not require a bug ticket. You can reference this guideline if it comes up in discussion during the review process. Functional defects should be tracked in bug tickets. New features should
be tracked in blueprints. Trivial features may be tracked using a bug ticket marked as 'Wishlist' importance."</div>

Let’s apply sensible reason. If it’s a new feature or a bug, it should be tracked against an artifact like a bug ticket or a blueprint. If it’s truly trivia, we don’t care. I can tell you that some of the worst bugs I have ever seen in my career had fixes that
were about 4 bytes long. That did not make them any less serious.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If you are fixing an actual legitimate bug that has a three character fix, and you don’t want it to be tracked as the reviewer, then you can say so in the commit message. We can act accordingly going forward. <br class="">

I agree. Lots of projects have this issue. I submitted a bug fix once that literally was 3 characters long, and it took:<br class="">
A short commit message, a long commit message, and a full bug report being filed and cross linked. The amount of time writing it up was orders of magnitude longer then the actual fix.<br class="">
<br class="">
Seems a bit much...<br class="">
<br class="">
Looking at this review, I'd go a step farther and argue that code cleanups like this one should be really really easy to get through. No one likes to do them, so we should be encouraging folks that actually do it. Not pile up roadblocks.</blockquote>

<div class="">It is indeed frustrating. I've had a few similar reviews (in other projects - hopefully it's okay I comment here) as well. Honestly, I think if a given team is willing to draw the line as for what is permissible to commit without bug creation,
then they should be permitted that freedom.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">However, that said, I'm sure somebody is going to point out that come release time having the list of bugs fixed in a given release is handy, spelling errors included.</div>

<div class="">We've had the same debate in Neutron and we relaxed the rules. We don't require bugs for trivial changes. In fact, my argument has always been: Come release</div>
<div class="">time, when we say that the Neutron community fixed so and so bugs, we would be lying if we were to include fixing spelling issues in comments. That's not a bug.</div>
