**What problem does this code solve?**

**Does the code still compile with Java6?**

**Risks**

**Changes to the API?**

**Will this require a new release?**

Notes:

The "problem" may just be an enhancement, it does not have to be a bug fix.

In most cases a new release is not required.

After the code has been tested and reviewed, you can set the review status to something like, "ACCEPTED, Starting 3 day comment window", and then do the merge after 3 days. Minimum comment period is:

• None for emergency commits
• 3 days by default
• 7 days for complex, risky, or behavior-changing commits
