   Committing and Pushing Changes
   ==============================

+.. TODO: include a checklist of items to be included in a commit?
+   e.g updated Misc/NEWS entry, tests, doc
For non-Windows, get people to run "make patchcheck". Windows devs
will need a manual checklist, though.
I find "make patchcheck" to be a poor tool and I would rather see
a manual checklist than a suggestion to use "make patchcheck" (which I
never use).
I find it helpful. Why do you say it is a "poor tool"?
Because of the following:

At least a manual checklist is able to explain you why
the items are recommended.
... which make patchcheck's very terse output doesn't provide.
That said I admit it can be useful to newcomers.

So both are useful. I find the automated one very handy.

Michael
