- You may be asked to provide further details or make additional changes.
- You can discuss further with code owner(s) and maintainer(s) directly via
`TF-M mailing list <mailing_list_>`_ if necessary.
+- If multiple patches are linked in a chain then code owners and maintainers
+ should review and merge individual patches when they are ready, rather than
+ waiting for the entire chain to be reviewed. If multiple patches are intended
+ to be merged together then authors shall use topics or explicitly mention
+ that in the commit message.
- Click ``Allow-CI +1`` button on Gerrit page to run CI to validate your patch.
Your patch shall pass CI successfully before being merged. Code owner(s) and
maintainer(s) may ask for additional test.
