Patchcheck truthfully reports whether /docs, ACKS, and NEWS have been modified. I do not read it as saying anything about whether they *should* be updated. For Docs and NEWS, *should* is a judgement call for core devs, which would be very hard to automate. The only remotely simple check would be whether a NEWS item contains a name not in ACKS, and even that is only a suggestion. So lets leave it alone.
