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. |
