UN-sustainable, in my opinion. The minute you add bits that
make maintainers prove they are doing something, you enter an
antagonistic relationship -- and my first inclination was to write up
a tool to forge such logs, and uipload that to Debian.
Secondly, these log generators would have to be done in a
manner that works with the myriad ways people build packages --
cvs-buildpackage, svn-buildpackage, arch-buildpackage, chroots,
pbuilder, pbulder-uml, UML's, and the works.
So far, we have mandated _how_ people do things, and that is
why so many ways of doing things have sprung up, and the cross
pollination of ideas and selection have helped improve the _process_
of building packages. Mandating process is a regression.
