But if we do the math, for an author, at even 1 minute per line
change and assuming nothing can be automated at all, it would take 1
month of work. For maintainers, a couple of trivial lines is noise
compared to many other patches.

So you think a one line patch should take one minute to produce ... I
really don't think that's grounded in reality.  I suppose a one line
patch only takes a minute to merge with b4 if no-one reviews or tests
it, but that's not really desirable.

In my practice most of the one line patches were either to fix or to
introduce quite interesting issues.
1 minute is 2-3 orders less than usually needed for such patches.
That's why I don't like churn produced by people who often even didn't
compile their useful contributions.
