Based on the threads about http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/2013-May/002529.html and discussion on http://bugs.python.org/issue17953; It would be good to add some (very high level)checks inside patchcheck that will tell the user if Misc/NEWS needs to be updated for the patch created.
As of now the patchcheck utility adds a notice to modify Misc/NEWS for every patch. IMO this notice should be based on some simple checks.
eg:
number of lines modified and/or directories changed (that might give a clue about ignoring minor changes in documentation and considering changes in Python core or major changes in Libs etc) based on which make patchcheck should generate warnings for changing Misc/NEWS. |
