Apparently they’ve been accused of submitting small patches that individually don’t contain much useful code in order to inflate their contribution figures and other stuff like submitting low quality code? According to the thread on /r/Linux. I feel like I’m not getting the full story here, or even if this was a Huawei corporate decision or just a bunch of Huawei workers doing this individually. From the other non-explanation comments, I do get the suspicion that /r/Linux is pretty biased against Huawei though. I don’t really keep up with the politics of the Linux kernel so I’m not familiar with the Huawei situation, anyone know more about this?
Idk but for me these fixes are welcome either being beginner or expert.
If there is a problem with entities “inflating” contribution, stop counting the number of commits as a representative of quantity.
They could list a summary of what the contribution added, cleaning own fixes and similar.
