Changelog: fix a stupid bug in a widget no one uses (but my colleague it
seems).

Though seriously, changelog: no way I'm adding a changelog entry for
that, we are really getting nuts with the changelog, we have 10000
changes like this per release which just clutters the changelog. That's
what bug trackers and associating bugs with releases are for, not the
changelog. If we plan on adding changelog entries for every small
change, we might as well just paste the VCS log there on release (like
some projects do).

As for the backport. It's annoying to do with svn (and our directory
structure), very annoying, also, it's driving me nuts. Again, comparing
to other projects: that's why there are "version maintainers", just for
backporting. When it comes to scratching my own itches: I couldn't care
less about backports, I usually do it, but it's really just too annoying.

We just need to find something to do with backporting (which will be a
lot easier but still annoying with git) and define guidelines for when
to backport (and more importantly who), and when to add changelog
entries. It's just too crazy to go on like that. People are motivated
about improving EFL, not supporting the debian-afraid-of-updates gang.

Just my thoughts. :)
