This is why my proposed documentation change (
https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/52576/1/Documentation/getting_started/gerrit_guidelines.md#335)
states:
"Providing a script or a [coccinelle](
https://coccinelle.gitlabpages.inria.fr/website/) semantic patch to
automate this step is extra helpful, so consider doing that if possible."

The only "shall do" request is that there's _some_ documentation about what
has been going on, and that can be as short as "commit abc replaced
foo(a,b) with bar(b,a)."

Do I need to emphasize the "if possible" part some more?
