9 Not really... We already have a QA project. Join it. If certain
10 developers are constantly breaking QA, inform them. If they continue to
11 do it after being warned, go to devrel. While the QA team can go and
12 clean up some things, it should only really do so *once* and inform the
13 developer. Otherwise, the developer might not honestly know that he is
14 doing something incorrectly, or that anyone is even paying attention.
15 Doing this allows for a cleanup of the tree, without putting
16 restrictions arbitrarily on the entire developer pool.
