Sébastien Brisard updated MATH-852:
-----------------------------------
Description:
Recent discussions (see MATH-851, as well as these threads
[1|http://markmail.org/thread/utxuipyolpnche5o],
[2|http://markmail.org/thread/sma3nwa5j3hspvp5]) have shown that our actual
requirements (especially regarding formatting) are higher than stated in the
Developer's Guide. This leads to confusion among new contributors, as well as
recent committers. It is therefore proposed to revise this guide, in order for
it to reflect the actual expectations regarding submitted code.
This guide should however not act as a deterrent for new contributors, so
attention should be paid to "rules" we consider as essential vs. superfluous
rules.
