In my experience you can't *really* rely on automation 100% for this
sort of thing. Not while achieving quality results.

Its viable for an overlay where there's no expectations of quality, but
for the main tree, I find you want to have a human san-check everything
and manually vet each upstream version for "anomalous things".

Automation is good at handling the "known predictable" cases, humans
are better at detecting "huh, that's weird, why did they do that?"

Because you absolutely want to know if upstream added some stupid
change that is harmful to Gentoo users before you blindly replicate it.
