Oops, you are right. My bad!


================
Comment at: llvm/docs/DeveloperPolicy.rst:419-421
-Your first commit to a repository may require the autogenerated email to be
-approved by a moderator of the mailing list.
-This is normal and will be done when the mailing list owner has time.

I read this blurb as letting folks know that sometimes commit messages take a while before they show up on the commit list. It used to be the primary way that happened was when making a commit for the first time. Now it happens most often for large commits (due to the size of the email content) or a long list of CCs (often added automatically by Herald, though the moderation of these has gotten better in recent history).

Actually, now I read it again, I realise that I don't understand what this sentence means:

My first commit to a llvm repository was via github, and github doesn't discriminate. If you have write-access to the repo, then your push to `main` will surely go ahead. There are no automated emails involved as far as I know.

I suspect this prose is from pre-github, where the process was different?
