I'm going to document this somewhere, we talked about it on IRC a while back but I never sent an email to the list.
Hot patching servers is bad! Don't do it! But if you _must_ do it for whatever reason, you _MUST_ open a ticket about it and leave it open until the hot patch is removed:

I'm talking specifically about altering code because outside of a normal rpm/puppet deployment. So this would exclude configs and things puppet normally deploys. But if you run into a bug in some code and it needs to get fixed, go in, fix it, contact upstream and open a bug so we all know about it. We've done this in the past for security reasons (git web and the recent nagios bug comes to mind) and for general usability problems or outages.

We should have a keyword or a component to make searching easier as well. For now I've added Hotfix to the keywords for that bug but if people forget to use that we can use a component or something else.
