Nothing to be shocked about.  Lowering quality of commits had been pointed
out by number of people in the past few years.  Unfortunately, hardly any
calls for changing something about this situation were constructively
accepted.  It took portmgr@ several years just to formally acknowledge there
is a problem.  At least one committer who tended to speak up loudly on this
matter was repeatedly shut up and eventually had left the project.

On the bright side, it seems we're getting better now...

Cool.  Sure, no worries, I perfectly understand that this is a moving
target.  One can never finish fixing all spelling nits, only stop.  :-)
