It would be reasonable to require devs to: |
16 |
a) Document changes before commiting when it's possible. |
17 |
b) When a) is not applicable, ask doc project to document it before commiting. |
18 |
c) When neither a) or b) are possible, file a bug asking for doc |
19 |
update for the commited changes. |
