Hi Akihiro,

Judging by most of the bugs we see in the openstack-manuals queue, the bugs that will be raised in projects' own queues will usually be against their own developer documentation. In the rare instance that that isn't the case, and it needs to come into one of the openstack-manuals docs, then we are happy to discuss the issue with the person who raised the bug and, possibly, take the bug in our queue to be fixed.

To be clear: just because DocImpact raises a bug in a projects' queue, doesn't mean docs aren't available to help fix it. We're always here for you to ask questions about docs bugs, even if those bugs are in your repo and your developer documentation.

I hope that answers the question.

Thanks,
Lana

This has had an overwhelming response, resulting in a huge amount of technical debt for the docs team, so we've been working on a plan to change how DocImpact works. This way, instead of just creating a lot of noise, it will hopefully go back to being a useful tool. This is written in more detail in our spec[1], but this email attempts to hit the highlights for you.

DocImpact is capable of handling a description field, but this is rarely used. Instead, docs writers are having to dig through your patch to determine what (if any) change is required.

The description can be a short note about what needs changing in the docs, a link to a gist or etherpad with more information, or a note about the location of incorrect docs. There are specific examples in the spec[2].
