16 I just want to avoid that it becomes legal to change any random ebuild
17 to someone's liking, and then commit it without ChangeLog (so it is less
18 visible?) with the commit message "qa".
19
20 Your committing this way actually supports the thought that you have
21 something to hide, because you don't document what you did, and you
22 didn't update the ChangeLog reducing overal visibility of your actions.
23 I don't want to actually get that suspicious feeling, that makes that I
24 actually start looking into what you committed.
25
26 You, as a QA member, should extra carefully stick to the standing rules
27 (even though you don't like them, or find them too slow/bothersome),
28 because you can't tell others they don't do things you don't bother to
29 do yourself either, do you?
