 - The code changes must be reasonably minimal and as low-churn, non-intrusive as possible. Cleanup should be done in separate PRs where possible (see above), and fixes should be as small as possible.
 - Thorough test cases must be included in the PR (unless tests already exist for a failing case). PRs without matching tests will be closed with a polite request to please add the tests.  However, if you need help adding tests, please note this in the description of the change and people will guide you through where to add the tests.
