I'm not sure we should really leave that up to individual practice.
Remember that while packages have one or more maintainers, nobody
"owns" a package. If 99% of the tree is ChangeLog-free then will an
arch team remember to run echangelog on the 1% that still have them,
and so on? This seems like we're adding complexity for a questionable
return.
If typos matter then they matter to everybody, and if they don't then
we should not care. QA in Gentoo should be a consistent experience.
Just my two cents.
