Hi all,

I just want to point out that students and newcomers that may or may not become regular contributors or even committers is just one point of view. The other one is that apart from git history that gets broken immediately there is another consequence which comes later - accepting low quality

^^^ as I said in the gerrit - it's fine to reject a patch if there is issue with it but "it will pollute git history" is not an issue with the patch or actually it's an issue with every patch so we should stop doing any change - so please don't change the topic.

 

or questionable patches causes existing highly skilled committers to leave. Example is here: https://www.eclipse.org/lists/eclipse-dev/msg10445.html

Best regards,
Szymon
