I have not made it a rule yet to prevent whitespacing and updates for minor
changes, also I would like to leave things like that to the people to
decide to prevent that too many rules lock us in.
How far would you want to go? Update for "I have removed some quotes" for "I
have made a version bump"?
Currently it is written down as follows:

http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/wiki/HowToCommit, point 6
--snip--
6) For later updates to the package in the overlay it is still considered
good style to update the bug and link to the changes, for exmaple:

I added some sed calls, it should build with --as-needed now
http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/sunrise/sys-apps/openguru/openguru-1.ebuild 
--snap--
I think it should be at least changed from a suggestion to a "you need to
for updates of .."
So,, my question, how far do you want them to go here?
