Code changes policy

* Samuel asked about how larger changes to contributed code are handled
* Roland said that this is effectively up to the authors. The ET is
  conservative with changes to release branches that should be limited
  to obvious important bug fixes
* For code changes the ET asks that all changes are reviewed but that
  does to have to be in the ET ticket system and could be code internal
* Sam points out that changes that require changing parameter files
  need to have a deprecation warning for one release before they can be
  made

Yours,
Roland
