That thread is pretty odd.
First, a sentence does not need to have a predicate. I know that for 99%
sure in german and the english wikipedia article seems to suggest the
same. Correct me if I am wrong.
Second, there are valid descriptions that are full ordinary sentences
without referencing ${PN}:
"Access a working SSH implementation by means of a library".
In addition, repoman doesn't check for full sentences that reference
${PN}, such as:
"Portage is the package management and distribution system for Gentoo".
So we have another (useless) repoman warning with false positives.
