Make sure the most recent CI jobs (config, quality, build, tests) all run fine with no failures
if "check clang-format" failed: the code contributor has to run ./do-clang-format.py --apply eventually with the --all option
if "check copyright" failed the code contributor has to run./do-copyright.py --add=20xy
Also run all the extra optional jobs "coverage", "release-clang-8", "release-u-18.04" and make sure no problems occur
Check in the "coverage" job output that the coverage did not decrease (!). It should always stay, or increase. If it decreased --> ask contributor to add further unit tests, and check coverage report.
