usually get reviewed and applied really quickly.

The "transfer full" annotation is given on the return type, and the title text is "free data after the code is done".

It would be good to have some guidance on whether the annotation (and the corresponding acronym tag in the documentation) is sufficient, or whether each transfer annotation should also include some explicit warning of what is required from the programmer. I would personally favour just using the annotation, but maybe there are certain cases where being explicit is a significant improvement.
