gnome-janitors

[Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas online no>]

Hi all.

Having something like the kernel-janitor project for GNOME has been
discussed briefly in the past and I think that would be a nice thing to
have.

Examples of stuff that people with little knowledge of the core code can
help out with in that respect is:

- run valgrind / memprof on the codebase and file stuff in bugzilla
after discussing it on (yet another) mailing list?
- run splint - http://www.splint.org/ on the code and file reports on
stuff.
- probably a lot of other stuff to make the code meet coding guidelines
that the project has

This would of course be even more successful if someone with knowledge
of the core code took some time to 

- make a ~/.splintrc that didn't spew tons of warnings that are plain
wrong
- write guidelines for use of valgrind on the GNOME codebase
etc

I'd like to help here, but I'm not the one to say if glib/gtk+/other
core lib does crazy stuff or if splint is just being silly...

Ideas, flames, documents welcome :-)

Cheers
Kjartan
