That's one thing. And it's super annoying since the bugzilla e-mails try to |
| 8 |
provide a diff, but the result is for longer package lists unreadable and not |
| 9 |
helpful. |

Also, in some cases, additionally keywords were added and removed from the |
| 12 |
list without any further comment. Taking this possibility into account, one |
| 13 |
would have to check any BZ mail with a lot of attention. |

The much better alternative would be |
| 16 |
* Don't do any cosmetic changes. They are pointless for a bot-evaluated field. |
| 17 |
* If you need additional keywords or want to drop something, leave one |
| 18 |
sentence on the bug with request and reason, and let maintainers sort out the |
| 19 |
package list field... |
