Sarai-WMDE added a comment.

  I wanted to express the following concern here again, just in case someone 
agrees on the need to find a mitigation factor:
  
  If `type` is optional, and its default value is "statement", then when `type` 
is not provided users of the Mismatch finder will be misguided when trying to 
correct mismatches on qualifiers and, specially, terms: labels, descriptions, 
aliases (a mismatch type that we were planning to introduce in the future, see 
{https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T313469}).
  
  Mitigation factors I can think of to prevent misleading users: 1) Make `type` 
required; 2) If kept optional, then rather indicate it in the table when a 
value hasn't been specified instead (e.g. "undefined").
