>From experience, I'd say that 50% of the committers will not fix their
changelogs and your task is then to (1) track patches in wait for a
better changelog entry and (2) apply them when the committer fixes the
changelog entry OR (2bis) fix it yourself... and waiting for (2) or
(2bis) to happen is so boring that you often fix the entry yourself
and stop encouraging committers to learn how to fix changelogs.
Or maybe I'm getting old :)
