Re: [Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#648779: [PATCH] added new homepage for upstream

If the fonts are in git, they're team-maintained...:-). So, as a team
member you're "allowed" to do whatever you think is good.

Anyway, commits are mailed to the pkg-fonts-commits mailing list, so
any of us can review them.

Yes, please. We don't have any automated way, as of now, to generated
changelog entries from commit messages.

Also, changing debian/changelog with an UNRELEASED entry is a good way
to send out the message "there is some pending stuff that's not yet
uploaded, in git, for that particular package".

I might, in some unknown future, setup something to monitor these and
avoid leaving un-uploaded things sleep for ages in git without being
uploaded (something I'm doing right now in D-I and works fairly well).
