We believe +that being meticulous when reviewing brings greater rewards to the project +than being lenient and aiming for quick merges. + +Code review like this leads to better quality code, more people who are +engaged with and understand the code being changed, and a generally +healthier project with more room to grow and accomodate emerging needs. + + +Guidelines +========== + +Meta +---- + +**Use your own judgement**. These guidelines are not hard rules. +Committers are expected to have sufficient expertise on their work +areas to be able to adjust their approach based on any concerns they have. + +These guidelines are not listed in a particular order or not intended to be +used as a checklist. + +Finally, these guidelines are not currently exhaustive.
