[Starlingx-discuss] Malformed Depends-On tag can cause unexpected merge

[Eslimi, Dariush]

I agree that there are no substitutes for attention to detail, but space is easy to overlook and has happened more than once.

You could add some sort of job to look for the mistyped version with the missing space, I suppose, but that wouldn't catch the myriad of other ways you could also mistype it. Another common example is folks using review.openstack.org instead of review.opendev.org in the hyperlink text (this will similarly cause it not to be used), but you could just as easily type Depend-On without the "s" or forget the ":" or use "_" instead of "-" or any of a number of other possibilities. There is no substitute for attention to detail.
