Thanks for the sharing! It is a very good article, especially the section of "What makes a good patch?". I think we already have a good practice here with the tag of [Calling for review]. We can just take every time of the review as an opportunity of mentoring. Of course we need to think about the continuous enhancement on UT, and ask for the UT performance and the result together with the patch?
