A patch should contain edits for Misc/NEWS. Patches without
documentation and NEWS updates costs the committer more time and reduces
the likelihood of a commit.

Even a perfect patch costs several minutes of our life time. The patch
must be reviewed, applied, compiled, the entire unit test suite must
pass and finally it must be committed and the issues needs to be closed,
too.
