<pre wrap="">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.

I agree with the frustration here. It was mentioned earlier in the thread the
top 5 wanted [1] is a good step in the right direction. I think also the
efforts on the contributor portal [2] are going to be a helpful link to send
people when they make mistakes.
I'm sure some of the people who haven't had this communicated to them yet
aren't aware, so we should all be aware as demonstrated in Matt's boilerplate
comment to be nice when communicating.

When I click this link I see two items. Perhaps the list can be
named 'help wanted list' and the point about it being the top 5 or
having a maximum of 5 items can be made in the text. Having a top 5
list with 2 items may confuse the audience folks are trying to
redirect here.<br>
