I'm not sure we should really leave that up to individual practice. |

Remember that while packages have one or more maintainers, nobody |
| 11 |
"owns" a package. If 99% of the tree is ChangeLog-free then will an |
| 12 |
arch team remember to run echangelog on the 1% that still have them, |
| 13 |
and so on? This seems like we're adding complexity for a questionable |
| 14 |
return. |

If typos matter then they matter to everybody, and if they don't then |
| 17 |
we should not care. QA in Gentoo should be a consistent experience. |
