Thanks Jeff. Some thoughts and questions for all: * I'd think that all security fixes should be mentioned in CHANGES, with CVE number, regardless of other considerations. Otherwise people worry.
* Should minor changes in the wording of a message be mentioned in CHANGES? I'd guess not, even though somebody just might be depending on that wording. * I would think "Submitted-by" is required for all code provided by a non-committer, yes? * Can we take it for granted that the person doing the commit has reviewed the code being committed that someone else contributed, or should we make a point of stating that explicitly in the log? * In trunk, does CHANGES document the changes from the last stable release, or from the previous alpha release of trunk? That would affect whether backported fixes should be mentioned in trunk CHANGES. * I think many changes to STATUS can get by with minimal log messages, e.g. "vote" or "propose backport". Dan
