Andrew Boothman once stated:

=* If  the PR  is for  a port  make sure  that "port  update" is  in the
=synopsis field, if only so that it catches Neil Blakey-Milner's regular
=check for such PR's, but also to act as a good description.
=
=* If you are the MAINTAINER of a  piece of code (or more likely a port)
=and don't have  commit privs, put "MAINTAINER update"  in the synopsis,
=for the same reasons as before.

Use  of  synopsis  for  this  worries me.  Perhaps,  this  warrants  two
new  classes: ``update''  and ``maintainer-update''  in addition  to the
all-including ``change-request''?
