- cyphar 10y agoTo be honest, typo fixes are fairly draining as a maintainer in large projects. Especially if it's a small (one-line) fix. Yeah, I get that you want to contribute and that's awesome (one of the best things about free software is that everyone can contribute). But the relative benefit of the actual change versus the time-to-check-the-PR and time-to-reach-consensus-with-another-maintainer is quite low in most "typo fix" PRs. If you're going to make a typo fix PR, please at least run a spell checker on the file that you're doing the typo fix on (and even better run it on the whole repo). Because at least then, your PR has a higher benefit ratio. That being said, if you still make a typo fix PR I will merge it eventually. Just be aware that I sigh out loud each time I get a notification for typo fix PR, and I will almost certainly put other things higher on my priority list.
