+Send changes in your patch which are related.  If you send several
+unrelated changes together, we will ask you to separate them so that we
+can work more efficiently on them.  Bundling unrelated changes together
+in big patches makes reviewing harder and slows down the time to apply
+them.
+
+Examples for related changes are: You changed URLs from http to
+https in one file.  You wrote a new service which required adding
+documentation about it.  You discovered that a new version of an
+application was released and updated it, but this required new
+dependencies and small fixes.
+If you combine more than one example in one patch you get examples
+for what we understand as mixing changes.

Applied with slightly different wording, thanks!
