We routinely receive typofixes PRs (some are genuine, some are spam). We decline those that are on internal documentation (see rust#144863, rust#143729, rust#143315 etc.) or to our rust testsuite because they could cause regressions, see rust#136384 or rust#129867 etc.).
I'd like to add clear wording about this in our "How to start contributing guide", I think this is not mentioned anywhere. This is not to not keep out spam (for that we have other tools) but rather for guiding contributions better.
If this is approved, I would like to add the same wording also to the rustc-dev guide (for example here)
Feel free to improve my wording!
Opinions?
thanks
Note: the added newlines in the list make the list a bit easier on the eyes
