Re: Question on ZK commit/patch policy.

[Brian Nixon <br...@gmail.com>]

I like having JIRAs for all changes because it allows one to track all the
changes to given components through the JIRA web interface and it forces
the contributor to spend some time upfront making sure their change is a
single coherent unit.

For trivial changes like spelling, whitespace, pruning of import, does it
make sense to have one super/umbrella ticket with multiple PRs attached?
