One of the answers raises an interesting possibility: https://www.zhihu.com/question/466111598/answer/1953785089 https://www.zhihu.com/question/466111598/answer/1953785089 Basically, they claim it's possible that it's not about KPI at all; but rather, Huawei has added some internal processes to try to raise code quality. But those processes, rather than focusing on things like algorithms, ends up mostly catching unimportant things like minor security issues in tests and code style issues in third-party code. So they suspect that these trivial patches are somebody internal to Huawei trying to satisfy their own internal processes by fixing upstream. That would mean it's still about KPIs, just not those of the patch submitter.
