2024-03-13Docs: Update gerrit guidelines for -1 reviewsMartin Roth
The -1 review authority has been moved from all registered users to users in the "reviewers" category. The reviewers group is for people who have submitted patches to coreboot. This change is taking the project back to how it was before 2016, and is not due to any issues that we're seeing. The reason it was initially changed was that in 2016, before we required all comments to be resolved so the patch could be merged, it was easy to overlook comments that should have been addressed. Now that the process has changed, the -1 right is no longer needed for all users simply to bring attention to the comment. The feeling in the leadership meeting was that since it's relatively easy to get to reviewer status, this should not be an undue burden on anyone.

2023-05-10Documentation/contributing: Update sign-off procedureNicholas Chin
The Linux kernel recently updated the wording of their sign-off procedure, changing the ambiguous "real name" requirement to "a known identity" and dropping "no pseudonyms". Anonymous contributions remain uncommittable [1]. As discussed in the April 19, 2023 leadership meeting, update our policy to go along with Linux and flashrom (who also updated their policy).

2023-05-10Documentation/contributing: Add sign-off procedureNicholas Chin
Currently, this only exists on the old wiki and the developers.html page on coreboot.org, but it really ought to be somewhere in the new docs alongside the other contribution guidelines. This was largely copied from the text from the developers.html page.

2023-02-01Documentation/gerrit_guidelines: Fix newlinesNicholas Chin
Markdown does not render newlines unless there is an empty line in between the lines of text. Several command examples and a list were missing these empty lines, causing their content to be rendered inline with the preceding text. Fix this by adding triple backticks around code blocks and bullet points to rows of text in a list.

2022-07-19Doc/*/gerrit_guidelines.md: Expand fast-track ruleAngel Pons
Commits that fix a recently-introduced regression can be submitted early to minimise the impact of said regression. However, it is important that the commit message properly reflects what is being fixed and what commit introduced the issue.

2022-02-27Documentation: Move Gerrit Guidelines to "Contributing" sectionFelix Singer
The Gerrit Guidelines are related to the contributing process and also contain documentation which goes beyond "Getting started". Thus, move them to the "Contributing" section.
