I'd say the opposite - I personally find it useful because I already know what all the items refer to (and hence know when I can safely ignore them). It's a handy memory jogger to see if I completely forgot something (forgetting to check ACKS for names I'm not familiar with is one that often catches me out). Having a manual checklist listed in the devguide would be very useful, especially for new committers. It could mention "make patchcheck" as well.
