I think you may have misunderstood the issue.  The Project's concern
with rerolled distfiles is that they may contain unuathorised (and
potentially malicious) changes to the content.  In order to guard
against that, it is expected that before committing an update to the
distinfo file, the committer will diff both the old and new distfiles
and verify that any changes are not harmful.
