Pre-commit means before committed to the canonical repo, not before commit locally. The SPDK project has an elaborate pre-commit review and test system all in public. See https://spdk.io/development https://spdk.io/development . I wouldn't want to work on a project that doesn't have infrastructure like this. Even mailing lists with patches are really a pre-commit review system, as are GitHub pull requests. Pre-commit testing seems more elusive though.
