As these fixes are not as obvious and have a higher risk of a subtle regression they should only be submitted by a distribution kernel maintainer and include an addendum linking to a bugzilla entry if it exists and additional information on the user-visible impact. > >         No “This could be a problem...” type of things like a “theoretical race condition”, unless an explanation of how the bug can be exploited is also provided. > >         No “trivial” fixes without benefit for users (spelling changes, whitespace cleanups, etc). > > Alright.
